Thanks Kyselad,
I am listening to everyone's advise. And just because I didn't automatically agree to do what the previous poster suggested doesn't mean I'm not considering everything. I've already spent a lot of time looking into the eccentric hub and chain tensioners and I know they will work, but I'm still trying to gather information about all options before purchasing everything. The Eno is great and it would be my first choice, but I could buy an entire wheelset for the price of just that one hub. Also, only one other person here suggested using a magic gear was a definite bad idea and I have heard other people here and elsewhere say that adjusting the chain length also works fine if you can get it tight. And as I said in the last post that you captioned, if I could not get a magic gear to work, I could always retrofit a tensioner later very easily.

I posted all the reasons why I preferred the Omnium & why I'm keeping this bike frame above.
Thanks
