Show me your single speeds!

My first attempt at a single speed.

Based on my 1999 Sunn Tottall soft tail that I have tried to build up in several guises before but never quite got to a point where it was rideable.

Sorry the photos are a bit poop but I didnt have my camera on me when I was out on it earlier.

Built it on Sunday morning out of the spares bin. currently using a 9spd cassette and a old LX rear mech as a tensioner, so still needs a fettle. Also must play with the ratio's as its a wee bit silly on the flat streets of London town at the mo.
 
I wouldn't care if she rode like a one eyed, drunk, three legged pig!!

Look at her. :shock:
 
Saracen Kili, Week 2, Phase 2. White forks added (thanks, Kaya!). Still awaited, white stem and (probably) lose the chain tensioner thingy.

Wheels/tyres swopped for now for "blue" X222s and Double Fighters.

My stealthy 1999 Cindercone. It uses a modified Hope Ti screw-on hub, BMX freewheel and a reverse dish rear wheel.
21-22lb with otherwise very vanilla parts.

nice bikes, keeo them coming but why tension the chain down? up gives better chain wrap and less chance for slipping.
