What frame is this magenta/blue thing?

Whatever it is, it's not a looker

It's a custom 29/29+ from Waltworks

He mostly makes bikes for tall people ;-)

oh no you didn't!

Mmm, nice

Re that first bike @Dogs posted, anyone run singlespeed with an iscg guide as the tensioner like that?

I've just received a BFE (with front end damage, I'll be replacing the front triangle) and am looking at the options for singlespeeding it. It has the upgrade to Syntace x12 dropouts so I don't want to mess with them. I'd thought about replacing the bb shell with an eccentric but upon getting it I've realised the seattube is kinked and will have to go so if I chop the bb shell out to it'd end up being just the chainstays and maybe seat stays left!

Sounds like there’s a lot of uncertainty with this frame.

I’ve formulated a plan after posting here last night and thinking about it some more. Bb shell will go along with the bottom inch or so of the seattube. I’ll sleeve a larger tube over the seattube and that will be what meets the new, eccentric, bb shell.

I’ll measure the iscg05 mount and if I can, put one on the ebb shell.

Are you going to keep the head badge ;-)

Probably not.

I feel a bit wired about the identity of bikes I heavily modify. Like, they’re not what the started out as but they’re not really one of my frames either. I don’t count them in the numbering system I’m using for frames I build from scratch.
