That'll do for now...

Here is a recent one Stu

I'll see if I can find the original drawings of it for you.
Edit.
There you go.
Is it not a little big for you?

Dang....there's some tat on here 😐
Stu, in true black sheep styles, what was in the pic ain't what the frame was 🙂 certainly a lot shorter than 23.5 ett more like 22.75 on a good day. Possibly why your big old beasty self never quite got on with it
I didn't say it was a representation of the frame I said it was the original drawings. 😆
Reminds me of of first and second frames he built for me.
First one wouldn't fit a 2.3 tyre in and the replacement for it was an inch longer in the toptube despite both being built from the same drawings. 😆
I'd already given up on them by the time that one arrived.
The guy's a ****ing clown.
Lol with stu, he does make nice forks though. Fingers crossed my new ti yobbo bike comes out as designed. Not a James bike though so it's in with a good chance 🙂
he does make nice forks though
Id ask Sam about that. He may tell you a different story.

@oxymoron - that is one hell of a nice looking bike.
Do you have anymore pics?

In all my time riding round here I've never met a fellow Sheffield singlespeeder.
@kazafaza - That Longitude looks a lot of fun.
Is that a 19''?
Will the rear take a proper 3'' tyre?
In all my time riding round here I've never met a fellow Sheffield singlespeeder.
To be honest, I rarely see another fellow human being when I'm on the singlespeed ... but that's because it's normally winter ... and/or dark when I'm riding it.

@letmetalktomark: 19" frame, proper 3" tyre on the nonproper rim, yes. Here on 28.8mm internal Ryde Trace sth:

BB might be too high for some, can't remember how much it was(305mm?)but I've ruined it with a longboing anyway. It is fun indeed 🙂

That a Rooster, Andy?
Certainly is - well spotted 😀

I've had a chronicle on a dually in the back of mine since I got it. Did the puffer on it ss last year. A bit of bike packing on it with 1x10. Awesome bike you can do a bit of everything other than enduro hooning with
Nice to see the ss love is kicking 🙂
My first taste of singlespeed, simply out of curiosity so I converted my HT. Enjoying it so far, but 32/18 is hard work on the short sharp hills around here.

Mine's been laid up over the summer, been doing a lot more road and gravel-cross type stuff than previous years and then have had the FS out for other rides. But It just needs a chain tension this evening and then I'm planning on a quick spin round swinners tomorrow to see how painful it is.......
Not a great picture, but it's a Pace RC129, slidey dropout, 853 steel with stainless chainstays.
Truth be told, it's not my favourite. I had a Swift before, and I'd happily swap this for another in good condition if anyone wanted to.
Oh and finally, while searching for a photo of it, I also found a photo of the pup when she was a pup, and we all like puppy pics so....
Not sure - iirc it was collected from my folks house but was going to a commuter / hack bike?
Was yours I'm sure now. Anyway 5000+km and just off out again now...
So far all my riding buddies who've had a go on mine up a single hill have built or bought their own ss.
That's a lot of miles/£ - glad it's seeing proper service!!
Not in an entirely rideable state at the minute but my winter project:

Hope to get it built in the next few weeks.
Wheres the go-to place for bearded gurners these days? Been looking around for decent SS kit in the usual place like here and eBay and theres nothing!
Very nice, Davey!
Look up the One Cog group on fb. Ask for bits and/or shark for offers.
Cheers Ned - re-found them on FB earlier and requested access. Beard is prepared...
SS and rigid seem so nicely suited. I'm putting my El Mar back to SS, was on hub gears but haven't been happy with them

It did..got it rewelded, rode it for a bit, then picked up another identical frame (well, in green)...the rewelded one is spare (i.e cluttering up the garage!)
