I revived my 2000 GT Avalanche with some new bars,
stem, saddle, brakes converted it single. I have some tubeliss rims that will be going on it with some new tires as well. Those are the original rims and I've been breaking a lot of spokes lately so time for an upgrade. So far I've been loving it.

Ditched the steel hardtail for a slopestyle bike. It's definitely not for everyone, but it will be a lot of fun at White Ranch!
I've always wondered about doing this! Have you gotten any rides in? Seams like the ultimate BMXish d*ckin' around funbike for the trails.

Throwing my entry into the fray:

On-One Parkwood 27.5+ SingleSpeed

Flats - 2.8 nobby nics on i45 rims - 130mm fork - 32/18 gearing

Only about 50 miles on this setup and have already claimed quite a few PRs with it.

The Kona Unit is my main ride. The axle on the stock crankset snapped at about 11,000 miles. I took this photo yesterday after installing the new crankset, BB, chain ring and chain. She's back baby!
The G29's job is to keep the Unit clean and dry when it's raining or for salty road rides.
The DK Xenia is my townie.

How was the ride? Did you notice any frame flex? What was the final weight?

Already posted this bike a year or 3-4 ago, but after breaking my hand in a way too stupid crash I didn't ride it for almost 1,5years.

Took her for a second ride this week and I forgot how much I loved it.
Although I forgot the pain an SS can give you after 30k of forest ;)
