have been watching a fair bit of singlespeed bike vids on youtube. some of them look lovely tbh.

just wondering what people here might have?

am toying with the idea of getting some type of ss bike at some point (charge plug,kona paddy wagon e.t.c.

Get a Paddy Wagon. They really are excellent bikes. THey don't have to be as bling as this one (fairy lights now gone 🙁 ). It is the bike I commute and train on most.

For SS mountain bike/cross bike, there is this:

I won't bore you with the poo-brown Langster (for Teen1) or the three track bikes. Thinking about another Langster for summer training duties.

PW is an excellent bike; Proper road bike geometry, steel frame, and mine has a few additions... Full carbon forks, ultegra long-drop brakes, carbon stem and seatpost, hand built wheels, and nicer bars. Without the mudguards and with an even lighter fork and summer wheels, it is 8.5 kilos. I've raced it at the London Nocturn track bike race ad ride about 100 mils on it.

This week it is back "down" to 42x15. So feels sprightly again.

It is like it is 2004 all over again (and most worryingly this is a recent build)

Bought this as a cheap commuter when I was living somewhere flat, then put nice seat, bars and pedals on. (The company didn't survive, but it was similar to Mango). 46-16 is unpleasantly tall for the hills round here, but it's fine as a pub bike.

Converted my very first, entry level MTB into a very capable S/S. Keep saying I will replace this with a fatbike but just can't bring myself to get rid.
