You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
It's Friday and I am thinking of an overhaul for my beloved 1x1 so inspire me. I don't want to get in to a why ride singlespeed arguement I just want to see the clean lines of your pimped Singlespeeds.

My DMR as a SS before I decided that SS isnt for me and put gears on it.

SS you say? Pimped you say?
[img] 
[/img]
since these pics I changed to a SID team, the carbon rigids just weren't very ....erm.... rigid. The SID is a great match for the frame aswell
[img] 
[/img]
Freshly washed, it doesn't look like this at the moment...
[img] 
[/img]
Ltd 853 Inbred with sliding dropouts, thinking of putting the frame up for sale

One of mine but not with clean lines 😉

Front bounce and non front bounce

might put gears on the merida for summer
Lovely shot of the Gorge Simon. I'm guessing you were descending rather than coming up. 😀
What bike for... gorge jumping!
I rode up / pushed from Black Rock.

Don't have one built up currently but this was the one I used over the winter:
[img] 
[/img]
It's rather more towards the cheap and shonky end of the scale, although it was pretty light.
I'll probably rebuild my slot-dropout Inbred as a SS once my Roadrat arrives as it'll no longer be needed for commuting duties then.

soloist for me 
My old Bonty, which i sold... still not sure that was wise. Its been replaced by Shackletons Dialled Love/Hate

1st ride on this last night:

[/img]
Not really 'pimped', but here it is nonetheless...

My 853ss 69er.
Not much by way of pimpy stuff or clean lines anywhere here but never mind...

This is an exciting post for me as it includes 2 bikes and they're both mine - what novelty.
Shonky phone pic:

[/img]
Almost the oposite of SeanOrange's
I think a nice shiney white saddle and seat clamp might be in order to finish it off...
(Yes I do need to clean my kitchen)

needs some bounce up front and i will be happy, feels like its being restricted with the rigid.
must get some new pics taken

My weapon of choice (T'other is a bog standard inbred so not really 'pimped' just practical 🙂 )
Anyone seen my old one. Sold it to a guy that was going to Rolholf it.

Oh, go on then. Not a great shot, and I sorted out the stretched chain shortly after taking this (first ride chain stretch!) Most get a better photo soon...

These singlespeed scandals do look quite nice. Nice bike squeekybrakes
Brookes saddle back on now its dry!

b u m p
some lovely bikes, like the tranny but little wheels 🙁
My simple....
[img] 
[/img]
[img]

I don't normally do bike pics, but here is my boring, common as muck, mass produced single speed 😥 need more niche in my life.

fontmoss that is lovely.
Some lovely clean bikes there. Here's mine, direct drive!

Cheers Thom! Still not ridden it this year 🙁 holidays in a week though, wayyyyyy
Just searched the computer and realised I don't have a single picture of my SS and it's probably the build I've had the longest.
So you'll have to imagine a '98 Kona Kilauea in mustard yellow with blue decals, '97 Z1 BAM in orange with blue decals with as many bits fitted for being blue as possible and a steel stem nearly as long as the top tube.

on one in 853
Remember when the 'show us your singlespeeds' threads used to be 80 or 90% white On-Ones? What happened to all of them? I never had one.
Not had the FS out since cobbling this together just after Xmas.
[img] 
[/img]
A rather old Serotta in SS disguise, sorry for the bad picture and the slicks. Anyone remember Suntour XC Pro brake levers?
[img] 
[/img]
Sorry....No white On-Ones here either..... 😉
[img] 
[/img]
Not the first one on this thread and pimping not really started yet but loving this since I got it together a month ago...
[img] 
[/img]
Yes the cables need sorting !
[img] 
[/img]
[img] 
[/img]
Where do I start, OK here:
Dialled Love / Hate - Love this bike, will NEVER part with it!!
[img] 
[/img]
My steel road frame -
[img] 
[/img]
My Solid Flair Slopestyle / UK DH bike - So quiet on the rough stuff!
[img] 
[/img]
Mrs Jackasses
[img] 
[/img]
Another common Inbred but she's 853 steel!
[img] 
[/img]
Sorry it's a bit late but I was still building it on Friday!
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
Okay, so not really clean lines and definitely not pimp, whole build probably cost me less than some of the front forks pictured above, but i love it...
[img] 
[/img]
obligatory inverted photo
[img] 
[/img]
keep meaning to take some better photos, but normally having too much fun riding it, and yes mary bars and pink lockons, so i can never loose it in a crowd!!
(oh and i have a Kona Unit frame which i think may well become a pimp ss)
[img] 
[/img]
more!

This one is rather common considering some of the pedigree beauties on here, but she's done me for about two or three years now. Yes, it is too small for me.
[img] 
[/img]
Well... it is nearly Friday again. [img] 
[/img]
Here's one:
[img] 
[/img]
I'd show you the dirty hack claude butler for the road but it's so ugly it would burn your eyes.
Friday in 2 hours so what the hell
[img]

I finished building this today:

Nice, innit.
Just finished this

Some lovely bikes there and a quite extraordinary number of headset spacers 😯

Yeah, sorry about that. Haven't decided which bike the forks will live on yet... and frankly I'm leaving them there now just to annoy you.
Edit.. Although Scienceofficer needs to sort his shit out. Ow many?
Hopefully still in the shed in Hampton:

Can I see some more photos of your bike Mr Climber? It's fantastic!
