Hi Scrod,

I am looking to purhcase my first single speed bike. I am looking for a relaxed geometry, steel frame, and durable components as I am a uberclyde (read: really heavy). I also want the ability to commute on it (fenders, rack, etc.) Through research and reading threads here, I have narrowed my choices down to three and want your opinion on which one you would choose. My choices are as follows:

Trek Earl
Windsor Timeline
IRO Phoenix frameset (custom build)

With any of these choices, I plan to replace the stock wheelset with Eighth Inch 48 spoke Juilian wheels for added durability and a wider more comfy saddle. What do you think Scrod? And please don't tell me Kilo TT. Thanks in advance!
