Since I shoved a 7 speed IGH wheel into the ass end of my Messenger rendering it no longer fixed or even SS I'm soon to be in the market for a replacement fixed gear. I was leaning heavily toward the Uno so I could run larger tires but this looks like it could also be a winner.

My opinions basedd on what I'm seeing:

Are those rack mounting screws I see in the middle of the fork blades?! If they are, that feature = epic win!

I agree with those who have said cantis > calipers but as long as the clearance is there for tires/fenders I can overlook it.

High flange hubs are really nice looking. Usually I only like the big flanges in chrome but the black/white color scheme makes these work just fine.

Fork w/ lugged crown = win.

The only things I might add would be a second set of bottle mounts on the seat tube since this bike seems to be more practial and less tarck oriented.

Overall I like it.
