Re:
Found this today on craigslist. I traded an old tv for it.i will post my inspiration later.Think klunker. I know nothing about SS bikes so I will be asking some questions.
My inspiration for purchasing the bike found on another site. This is a aluminum Trek cruiser turned into a ss klunker. I will be going for the same look but will be adding a disc front brake to make it a little more trail worthy. It is a suprisingly lite bike. My scale says 21lbs.

Mr Toad, that Niner looks lovely, nice colour and my size as well by the look of it 
A perfect race machine
Neebsta, that DeKerf is another fine looker.
Heres a shot of my 1X1 from yesterdays Macretro Aviemore ride.
Heres on of Epicyclo's (Brian) 1X1 with a Fat BNimble on the front

Re:
Can I ask a few stupid questions?
Have a surly karate monkey with horizontal dropouts. Guy I bought it from said just put chain on and whack it back tight. I have monkey nuts and a tug thing. So what do i do to get the chain and wheel tight in the most hassle free way?

Re: Re:
You only need the monkey nuts if you are running a derailleur set-up, so put them in a safe place for now (they cost a bomb if you lose them and want gears later).
As for the tug-nut, Surly say it better than I can.

btw, congrats. Karate Monkeys are awesome, as is singlespeed!
