Ok this is my custom Charge Stove Prototype. Spent most of its life as a trail bike but I'm in the process of converting it to fixed, having replaced and raised the saddle with an old Thomson seatpost I had lying about. I've also replaced the stem and literally just chopped down those bars (how come MTB risers are so wide? I cut off practically a foot)

Pedals are strictly temporary: I have some old V12s I'll put straps on. I'd also like to chain the crankset, perhaps to a Middleburn RS8 X-Type. The Hookworms are new too, haven't been used in anger yet. I've bought the smallest sprocket I can (15T) but going to have think hard about the right gear ratio because this thing is heavy.
and here's the projest I'm about to get started on: converting this old MTB fron wheels to a rear fixed wheel, by bolting the velo solo sprocket to the disc brake mount on the hub.
