Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

44/24 but what you can't see is the Sturmey-Archer S2 hub in back. Base is about 50GI, backpedal a full circle and it goes to overdrive, about 70GI, backpedal again to shift back. This is my North SD county bike, a 2013 Marin Ignacio all stock.

Some do, but the sizing of that frame seems reasonable at first glance.
