ridding simple bikes is fun.

this is as simple as i can do.

just ordered some fsa 175 carbon bmx cranks and 90 mm stem.

i have most everything else i need.
should make a fun FSSS. 5 in the front and 4 in the back
that is full suspention single speed. :)

That is pretty damn crazy......it still has gears on it though :nono:

What does the bike weigh in at?

I don't really like the idea of an FS singlespeed, it's cool, but I wouldn't want to ride it. Of course I've slowly been reducing the amount of travel my bikes have....5 to 4 to 3 and currently zero, fully rigid. Still, bitching bike.

I've seen your DH bike, but that's it. Do you have other bikes that you've been designing? Well I'll go check that website out I guess.....

No kidding, that rear wheel is really tucked in close. What is it, about 15.5 inches? Shorter? Front end must pop up real quick.
