Hehe, yeah, it is small.
it's a 32, which is a pretty standard MTB single speed size, and the one that came with the crank (it is a MTB SS crank). As it is set up now its gear range is 27-98 gear inches, which is pretty optimal.
Since this bike will also see duty on single track, the ground clearance with a smaller chainring is a benefit.
My intent is to do the "quick change" (remove fenders/rack, swap tires) - a 30 minute job - and hit the trails.
