Is there any "good" production bicycle available on planet Earth that is:
1. Designed specifically to be a single speed 2. Designed with forward facing rear dropouts The only bikes I know of that are designed to be single speed and designed with forward facing rear dropouts are beach cruisers. Are there any 'good' bikes designed that way? I approve of Deacon Patrick's general plan to trust Riv and trust Nobilette. I also approve of DP's specific plan to run QB-style track ends.
