Show me your flat bar single speeds

I am having fun on my urban single speed and would like aome ideas for this one and the next. I don’t get to ride a ton these days but I go out for 10-15 miles a day hammering around having fun.

I would love to see what you guys are riding. I remember seing some really high buck builds that were incredible but I don’t remember details.

Love a good flat bar setup for the city! Had this setup last year on my fixed gear (though it could be a SS):

Nature Boy. Super fun bike, I always pick this one when running an errand or just getting outside for a little bit.

my go to SS. mismatched tires ATM but a new rear arriving soon.

I tend to choose a lot of "short cuts" that take me a very long time to get home.

Jonny Cycles, old picture but still looks pretty similar. I have flats with RE Load straps on it so I can ride with regular shoes, a Moots setback seatpost, I put Nitto bull horn handlebars on it, and all black tires. It lives in my office so I can ride around campus or I'd update the pictures. Super fun bike.

Also, good news, Jon K. is building again, though a pretty limited style of frame is available. Nice to see his work again.

Super nice.

I have a Kvale frameset that I am collecting parts for and will build this winter.

I ride my SS CSI daily to work.

OT, I recently read that Kvale is pronounced kwallee, not one syllable with a hard V as I had been using for 10+ years. I've also come across "quayle" as an alternative pronunciation.
