I'm using the Surly 130mm hub Bill mentioned on this bike to get a fixed gear option, but my other single speeds use single speed cogs and spacers on cassette hubs. -Dave On Friday, February 2, 2024 at 5:16:12 PM UTC-5 Edwin W wrote: I like single speed bikes, many like single speed bikes. The simplicity, the possibility of fixed gear, it is the epitome of biking for me, I think. I like the idea of the roaduno. So far it looks like it will have 700c/622 wheel size, long reach side pull brakes. Rear facing drop outs. Those are the main factors to think about, because stem length, handlebar and lever type, fenders or not, dynamo or not, are flexible on most bikes. What is the competition, and what are they offering? Crust Lightning bolt single speed. 650b wheels with anti posts.  BMC Monstercross. 700c wheels and cantilever posts. But that has 135mm rear spacing, so not exactly built for single speed. What else is out there that can take a 38mm (or so) tire with a fender?
