Show me your 26" fixies and singlespeeds
As the title says. Even when combing through the general SS/FG picture thread there aren't many 26"ers to be found, post 'em here.

Miyata Pathrunner from 1995 I think:
The pics are from september this year when I used it in a 100km offroad "race" with only SS or FG bikes. As you can see it was wet...
I also have a Miyata Elevation 10000 which is currently being converted to a SSCX bike.

heavily upgraded 2010 Monocog:
I wish I could use it as a commuter, but that never seems to work, so this is a xc bike 99% of the time.
