Yup - that crank is a fixed 49t chainring
Think that I've pestered the owner and even may have questioned him a bit too harshly - so likely won't get any more info out of him, but you can also see what he calls an "earlier" NJS stamp in the pics. Guess this bike may not have been for Keirin after all but as veganbikes said, "Whatever it might be it sure is purdy!"

I want so Enve fenders that would be awesome assuming they were super light and durable.
Richard Sachs does not make a bad looking bike. I don't even think he can. Simple clean dyno-mite racing machine that's out of sight ya dig?!

Hipster sled or not, I really like that "work" frame. I don't dig the price, but I like the frameset.

The 120mm rear spacing is silly for anything other than a track bike. This should be 130mm.

Eh, it's not like you're gonna put gears on it. I get what you're saying but I don't think they made a mistake by giving it a 120 rear end. They're selling to guys who have track wheels laying around. A 'mainstream' cyclocross racer isn't looking at this frame.

Thing is, I hate canti brakes. So, if I ever get a SSCX, I'd want it to have disc brakes, which means having 130mm rear spacing.

If i wanted disc brakes I would want 135 rear spacing, easier to get disc wheels in 135 than 130. My CX has 135 rear spacing (and discs).
However for the bike pictured above, I would like it in 120, so I could run it fixed.
I am never going to race CX so my preferences don't really matter, but I am guessing some of those Cinelli's will end up as fixed gear.
