Dawes SST vs. Origin 8 Uno
How does the CL bike in the link below compare to a new Dawes SST singlespeed?

Ketchup
It's got a better saddle and tires than the Dawes. Better headset and probably BB. It's got extra bars, stem, and saddle.
I wonder what kind of cranks those are?
I can't really make a recommendation without an asking price and a description of the wheelset.

F***!!!
Called this am to check out the bike. Said I was really interested in the bike. Told "sure, great, come on by". He gives directions, mentions purple HHR is parked in front of house, etc. I drive an hour into Chicago, spot the SSR, right address; no answer at the door! I call, and the dude answers that he sold it "about 20 minutes ago". Let me get this right...the car is there, you just sold the bike, you're "going to be home all day" and nobody answers the door. WTF!!!! I AM REALLY PIS*ED OFF!
