it had long forks and DH tyres on, now as XC wheels, race kings and 100mm forks (as you can see)
rather enjoying it.
toying getting something with trackends for a cleaner look, but tensioner does have the advantage of needing no retensioning of chain and fannying around getting the chainring in the middle of the crank

More fat front fun flirtage
is no one going to mention the bar ends inboard of the grips^?
They're not bar ends. They're shopping bag hangers.
If we're gonna be like that, olly's bike MAN!
I did notice them, but this is a STW SS thread. That is relatively normal.
Also Coyotes brake cables... tut tut.
Yep - Olly you must get killer neck ache.
Realman - LOL.

🙂
Yes, bit tall.
Cant think why it was so high in that pic.
I'm at top of 16" frame range. 18" felt bit big. 16" fits nice but means running tall post. 410mm Thomson, still well inside limit & never any issues with bending.
32:16 for me...
These are the SS bikes I currently have in my hands, there's a crazy amount I've waved bye bye to.

My van tuyl. A track bike for riding on the track. Really. The ratio is not for mortal men to comprehend.
I do like those Singulars....
... Oh tempted
I love this picture. What lens did you use to make the front wheel look disproportionately big? It has an almost 3-D feel to it, AWESOME.

decisions decisions,do like the new ragley though..
😆
Marc, I like your Pace. Nicely retro but not too much so. Don't let my Surly know or she'll get jealous.
Why are singlespeeds so ace? They just look so [i]right[/i].
i really want that pace 🙂
always wanted one of them pace frames...
hoojum - nice singular, do you mind if I ask the frame size?
ds3000 - It's a large. I'm 6.3" and it fits me well with a 10 degree layback.
Some great bikes on here. Keep em coming!
why do i get an;
Ollys bike MAN
?
good to see some more 456s getting SSed on here.
456SS should have the slot dropouts IMO.
and a 120mm MXcomp instead of my 105mm.
EDIT: 32:18, because a 17t cog is far too expensive for what it is.
hoojum - cheers, i'm about your size so i think i'd go for a large too, just need to find a suitcase full of money.
Here is my 69er, one of the best bikes i've ever owned (only after i binned the mavericks however!!!
