Here's the final build! Did a 9 mile ride today and it is awesome. Since this is my first and only singlespeed bike, getting started was interesting. My brain wanted to shift when I first started the ride..but 20 minutes in, it felt like I'd been riding the bike for years. The geometry is perfect. It's simple, quick and efficient - everything I wanted out of the project! The build quality is excellent and it feels super tight.
