Haha. No photo's I'm afraid apart from the one's that I already posted previously http://ligneusbikes.wordpress.com/hardwood-single-speed/photos/
I've probably got 1500 odd miles under the wheels now. I ride it as my only bike now for commuting and weekend rides. The plan is to get as many miles done as possible to see what goes first. Been through a set of brakes and a set of tyres but the frame is holding up fine. Has also been out in rain, snow... the lot over the winter and hasn't had any issues. Even came off on some black ice on a roundabout the other week but fortunately the saddle took the brunt of the impact and the frame was untouched..... my knee on the other hand. The varnish has had a couple of scratches from the bike shed at work but nothing that some sand paper a brush and the pot of varnish can't fix in 5 mins. In fact the gloss finish cleans reallly easily and doesn't hold oil at all.
I've certainly met a lot more people out on the roads since I started riding it. Literally every day someone will ride up and have a chat on my way into work.
