Single Speed Roll Call !!!
- Thread starter Arsbars
- Start date
I had to post mine again. I converted back to a fully rigid bike, just didn't seem right with the suspension fork. Now it's all cleaned up and ready to ride. Time to get it dirty again...
Lookin good Johnny - first generation Hooligan right?
Thanks...yup first gen. I would like to buy a 2nd gen frame but the $$$ is hard to come by with a newborn and the price of gas.
Surly Karate Monkey...My Commuter (easily transformed for trail rides):
Titec H-Bar, King Head Set, Bontrager Carbon Fork (yeah, I really need that on a commuter
), Race lite wheels, cross tires and fenders and other random crap...
Surly 1x1...My trail rig:
Pace Carbon Fork, FSA Carbon Bars, Paul SS Hubs, Paul Levers, King Headset, Avid Ultimate V's, Thomson post, WTB Ti saddle, Etc...
Old Gary Fisher Steel Frame Coversion:
Mavic CrossRoc Tubless, Surly Fork, blah blah blah...
And the 91'ish Stumpy M2 (lower left) shown almost complete...

Nice Surlys - welcome to Ridemonkey! 
Loving it.
i coulda used a front fender like that yesterday .. nice bike
Loving it.
I'd love to see my wife's face (or maybe I wouldn't....) if I brought one of my bikes in the house in that condition 
.

The Peyto. Was my geared hardtail for a long time. ~68 degree head angle, room for as big a fatty tire as I'll ever want to run. Very, very fun bike. Ran it rigid for a bit, but was just too uncomfortable for this wussy, so a fork was in order. Now has the stock Pike/Specialized front wheel taken off my squishy bike.
Seat is a Selle Italia SLR re-covered in deer hide/fur. A "gift" from my brother-in-law. Surprisingly comfy, despite the lack of padding. Made the most sense to put it on this bike, since I stand way more on it than the others.
Slack, tough, still fairly light. 42" wheelbase and chainstays ~16.5" = super fun in the tight twisties and on trialsy sorts of things. The closest thing to a stereotypical XC bike that I have. It's fast and fun. 2.35" Nevegal in back, 2.5" Blue Groove up front.
Mish mash of parts. Juicy-3 brakes, Thomson stem, Sunline bar, generic post (turned out to be lighter than the Thomson post I had...) Hugi rear hub with a Mavic 519 rim. Cheapy cranks with a ti square taper BB. Ritchey pedals. Cane Creek S-3 headset. Hope seat collar. 185mm/140mm front/rear rotors. Lock on grips. Surly stainless ring and cog, 32x20 - nice and tight sans tensioner - have had no slippage, and looks like I'll get quite a bit of wear out of things before tension becomes and issue. bottom of the cage is zip-tied on - cage bolt insert ripped out a while back.

Thanks! It's a really fun ride.
I'm in.... I have a P2 for urban and pump track and just built a Trek 1200 single speed for a commuter. I will post pics ASAP. Nice Voodo
a new-to-me used fork and all the parts I had sitting around, came out decent, rides well for urban.
