@TejanoTrackie We need your Paramount in on the fun.
I do see it. In person the head tube still looks slack like a road bike.

Your wish is my command, great tall one. Sorry for the crappy indoor photo, but it's freakin' cold outside right now.

Hate to repost the same bike twice in this thread, but I had an absolutely epic ride on my SS Pugsley. I summited the highest peak in my state, Mt. Greylock, over 4.5 hours of singlespeed pushing and hike-a-bike up the iced-over auto road to the summit.
Temperature was about 4ºF before windchill. Frozen planet!
Here's a write-up about the climb on my site, with a ton of pictures of the iced-over summit: Fatbiking to the Summit of Mt. Greylock

My Single Speed
I also put this on the commuting group. I've had this Rockhopper since new. I'm thinking it was 1985 and it has been through a lot of different setups since. I'm really enjoying the simplicity of a single speed. I finally got the gearing sorted out 38:18 seems to be perfect with the winter studs.
