Question regarding frameset
I am looking at a frameset to buy to build as a ss. The frameset I'm looking at states:
"bottom bracket is english threaded;
seatpost 27.2 should be used;
rear spacing is 130mm.;
fork is 1 1/8 threadless"
My question is will this work well for a single speed? It may be "normal" but since they made a point to spell it out I wasn't sure.
Thanks,

you're missing the most crucial info; what the rear drops / ends look like.

Those are all common sizes and will be easy to find parts for.
