I don't have any of these anymore sadly!!
I've never had the confidence to run a fixed offroad bike, especially in the parts of Cornwall I used to ride.
Stupid light weenie project Zaskar was very quick but was so light it followed lines on the trails I didn't!!
Good fun though.
Tricked out Surly 1x1
91 Roberts DB
Cakeshop Special
Surly Hotrod
There are more, but you may have dozed off by now!!

Sadly no longer in the stable, but this Trek was my first single speed machine And it was good fun, I never used it on the trails as such, but around town as a commuter it was light, rapid and easy to maintain. I was of the impression dont knock SS until youve tried it, now i am planning my second SS

the following was a karma frame built up with all the random spare stuff I could find, borrow or steal.
it is currently stripped bare & waiting for a bit of love again... just need to sort a wheelset & chain for it & i'm good to go, although its next incarnation will look nothing like this one!

Heres a couple of mine from over the years:
1994 Stumpy. Brilliant machine, went through a few changes and still have the frame and forks hanging in the shed.
at SSUK2009
My 1998 M2 Stumpjumper with SID forks. By far the lightest I have owned. It was a great handling machine. Loved it but it wasn't steel if you know what I mean.
at SSEC2010
My current and keeper ride, my Surly 1X1. This is a work in progress as I have some green Spank rims to fit, BB7 discs and a UNO crank. This is about the only MTB to get ridden these days and I love it.

Well, I wanted to know what the fuss was all about SS and FS bikes. Finally finished my 1991 Kona Explosif SS and I must say its pretty fun. But it does suck when you need another gear!!
