Bikes: Salsa!

Am pretty happy with the bikes I have now and now with the mountain bike am working on the D-1 number of bikes meaning D is the number of bikes you buy that the wife divorces you. Not looking for track bikes I knew about those already and pretty happy with the Stormchaser as my winter beater and rain bike; no derailleur or moving parts to worry about regarding road sand and salt.

Just curious. I know Trek makes a flat bar carbon road bike (FX4-6's) and carbon feels so lovely with a certain subset of people still riding single speed in 2022 curious if any company offers a factory built option. Most (obviously not all) single speed bikes that people actually enjoy are either custom builds from scratch or aftermarket conversions of geared frames as almost all available single speeds for brand new purchase are cheap junk nobody would want to seriously ride.

When people notice that I ride a single speed you should hear the awful things they have to say; reference last sentence in how most single speeds available for purchase are heavy, low quality department store clunkers.
