Got a singlespeed specific Nicolai, don't think there are many about. Though basically it's an Argon that the Nicolai factory have customised.

Nice bike though, there is something about SS Kona HT's that will always be cool in my book.

Cool, because it's glued and riveted together, has Ti, steel and alu tubes, built up with spare bits, and gets locked up in That London, and hasn't been nicked yet! Light, and fast. Fantastic little bike.

Anything with a chain tensioner can immediately be ruled out.

indeed, as can anything where the two chain lengths are nearly parallel.

OK my vote for the coolest

1st The Sheps mismatched Kona - great colours!
2nd The Breezer -an undeniable classic
3rd Singlespeeddans Cotic - just a nice looking singlespeed.

It's got a polished 'trimmed' Jonesesque XTR M960 chainset too now.

PS. Doesn't mean I can't own, ride and enjoy bikes with gears 😉 Horses for courses and all that, it's my first choice ride though 😆

toomanybikes - what do you call them, I've always wondered since watching the Goodies! It can't be a tricycle!

it was advertised as a Tridem. It's not mine, it's a mates in germany, he paid 350 euros for it on ebay, import from china, and it's brand new, really weird to ride though, especialy if you're at the back, if the person steering cut it too close to a corner, or tree or such like, you get a mouth full of branch.

We call the one that we made a trandem, although someone on the CTC forum did that refers to a trike of some sort. I forget. We mainly call ours The Threesome.

It does have gears though. And brakes (3 of them). Rather alarmingly that one only seems to have a front brake. Yikes.

Mine is the best!

Cool, because it's glued and riveted together, has Ti, steel and alu tubes, built up with spare bits, and gets locked up in That London, and hasn't been nicked yet! Light, and fast. Fantastic little bike.

LOL @ RudeBoy's bike. Well, the stem primarily! "Rider to Handlebars, Rider to handlebars, come in Handlebars, over"

"What's that rider, over"

"Hello handlebars, I need to make a left hand turn about a mile up the road, how does that work for you? Over"

"Will see what we can do rider, but I'm not promising anything! Over and Out"

Sorry, PMSL here. I'm sure it's comfy 😉
