So the interest wasn't that huge. Sorry for the bicycle purists but I want to build the bike that I have in mind.
I think it's fine to build whatever bike you want. This frame isn't all that special. My point is that it's a much less than ideal frame to build as a single speed. As noted above, you can try to get a "magic gear" (which could give you an undesirable ratio) or you can use a chain tensioner (which is ugly). Otherwise it probably won't work well.
