Nice build, what rear derailleur do you have on it?

The derailleurs are some species of Shimano Deore. I probably got them at a swap meet back home in Texas. They do look pretty sweet and it shifts like “butter” as some say.

Looks perfect for a "Texas dirt road".

Texas dirt road to the Bluegrass
That was the case, but I am now in the hills of Kentucky. Still works , but I am running lower gears. Will prob drop the big ring from 52 to 48.
Hills here have caused me to stop riding fixed. It was just too tough for me. So my one time fixed gear is now a Sturmey 3 speed

My folks had farms around there -- Ditto or Brown, mostly.
Not that you stroll gravesites.
Mama Brown had the first 'party-line' switchboard in Vine Grove off the lobby of her large boarding house. She knew all the town's gossip.
Stanley Ditto (my grandfather) was a plumber/farmer who put indoor bathrooms in many of the homes. Later to own a Louisville plumbing company.
