What did the Stooge do to deserve this?

You don’t like?

One of the top tubes had cracked just behind the headtube.

That's very different isn't it..

Love the bars and stem!

I can’t decide if I like it btw.

I’m not usually a fan of dropped seatstays and I’m worried the front end has ended up a bit convoluted.

Going to get out on it today and I guess how it rides will either make it or break it.

love the look of the forks...! retro thumbie -> dropper is nice touch too

Are the bars your own design? Or are they bought in? I'd love a set if they happen to be available in 31.8.

thats ... ummmm ..... an interesting frame

Same bike, new pic

I made them yeah. They are 22.2mm but I can do you a nice Paragon Machine 22.2 - 31.8mm shim.

Absolutely yes

Currently in the classifieds

Repainted my SS Honzo. Outside pictures to follow once I get time. Which, with three kids under 7 is difficult.

find myself thinking about ssmtbs daily lately

with small wheels and rim brakes

essentially i'm just thinking about surly 1x1s and crust wombats

really the perfect bikes

Oh for sure. I’ve wanted a short fork 1x1 since I could have just gone in a shop and bought one. Never the right place at the right time.

you have one.

I've got two 26" Inbreds I need to shift (wish I could get the GrInbred to Oz).

Hydro disc brakes though, soz.

just saw this, like it! could you barspin it?

Probably!

and it's always on my mind 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

perfect bike!

Full sus singlespeed...opinions?

I'm enjoying having gone back to riding singlespeed but I do feel like I'm getting a bit beaten up on my bike and wonder if some suspension would help.

Could just do a fork, or even a stem like a Redshift (I'd quite like to bodge a Girvin Flextem for shorter reach and ahead compatibility) but maybe instead of going in for a penny I should just go in for a pound and try a full sus.

I normally hate tensioners on singlespeeds but for some reason, on a full sus bike I'm not too mad at it.

So what do you think? Ruins the simplicity of singlespeed or worth a bash?
