I think I like the look of the singlespeed more than I like the function. I would have to gear down a 700cc bike so much to be where I would like it that it might be ridiculous. I had a 26" Redline Monocog and the 36x18 gearing was good for me but I sold it to try and cut down on my bikes. I have 90's hybrid bike that I am going to try a few configurations and one of them might be singlespeed. I also have a singlespeed mountain bike frame I might build up one of these days. Right now I need to get some flips and bikes for friends done before I tackle another personal project.
