That is nice

and better quality photos

that red and blue track bike is beautiful. Not sure about the wheels though.

It's a Perkins. Imho needs C-Record cranks and different saddle.

yummy

Fans of nice looking bikes, however...

In the same vein if that:

What is that? Looks ace

Konga

^I fail to understand bikes like that. (not calling it anti or whatever, but, what are you supposed to do on a HUGE uphill, as it is in fairness, a mtb. Go home and get your other bike?)

It's not a mountainbike but a cyclocross bike? So it's SSCX?

ok, but surely someone getting/buying/building a cyclocross bike would choose to have gears, for the versatility factor!

what are you supposed to do on a HUGE uphill

Sling it over your shoulder and run

It's often faster to run with MTB uphill technical stuff than riding it

Well depends on the race. Some races offer "bonus points" for single speed. Besides that it can be easier for some people. Less focusing on the gears and more on the power output and trying to win. And if it's versatility, this is a bike forum. Every decent rider must have at least one:

Pub bike / rat bike
Track only bike
Fixed crit bike
Full race bike
Triathlon or Timetrial bike
Cyclocross or Singlespeed Cyclocross bike
Mountainbike

And that's just the minimum. The correct number of bikes to own is n+1

would still choose gears do....

would still choose gears

[cough]

I was onboard, right up until:

n+1

Then I was like, #merica

Less focusing on the gears and more on the power output line that doesn't end you in a bush, ditch, swamp or tree.

ftfy

Anyone have any moar of this?

Climbing technique. Learn you will. Or as others have said, pick up the bike and run.
