The FOOTPRINT is 120mm O.L.D. The rear dropouts can be split at the seat stays so you could run a belt if you preferred. The bike use a full carbon frame as well as a monocoque carbon fork. We sell a simiilar road frame for $1500. Thats for the frame only. The S300 crankset is used because of restrictions on "sharp" chainrings. The bike is sold as CPSC compliant, track bikes are not. The S300 is avaialble with the guard the Omnium is not, neither are any other SRAM cranks except the less expensive S100/150 or Truvative options. The S300 is also used in a BB30 version on our $3500 'cross bike.

Certainly there are other options for single speed bicycles and arguments can be made for the "best value for your $1600" ad nauseam.

I have a Footprint frame built up with some older Zipp cranks, Ritchey cockpit, and a light saddle. It is just under 15 pounds and retains the stock wheels. I leave the bottle opener at home also.

It is a unique bike to be sure.
