Let's see some Winter Single Speeds and Fixies
So I kina of had a wet day dream on the snow covered walk to class today about a 29er fixie with some big ole 2.25" studded tires, which means you all need to post photos of your winter fixies and single speeds.

I don't have any pics, but when I ride in Montana I use the same 700c armadillos I use everywhere else. Never had any problems.

and watch out for the fenders, snow will clog them and bring you to a stop

That's a great picture with the tow truck in the background.
I've done alright with the snow and fenders, but you're right pedex. I would do much better with a mountain bike that had mudguards and studded tires. Please excuse the crappy quality of the picture.

its a monocog from redline, some parts had to be replaced cause I got broadsided by a car when riding it a few years ago, so I turned it into my snow bike-----I really hate riding it to be honest, I much prefer my trackbike

^ is that national geographic across the street?
i've posted my commuter/winter/cross bike way too many times to bore you all with it again. maybe if it gets covered in snow again i'll snap a shot.
