New to SS - got a minute?
 
got bored with riding the bus/driving to class this semester, after checking my various options i decided that a singlespeed was the best option for zipping around campus (Virginia Tech, anyone?). that said, i started doing some research and have come down to a few options for a first bike. i know i want at least a front brake and and not gonna ride fixed for the time being, this is what i've come up with

from what i've read it's a good bike, but i know i'll need a freewheel. i'm not gonna take a chance and buy one on my own, can somebody point me in the right direction? also, i'm just about 6'4" with a 36" inseam, so will a 60cm frame be a good fit? i've seen geometry charts that put me anywhere from 60-63cm, so i want another opinion.

and by all means, if you can think of another bike in the same vein, reply with that also.

thanks a lot!

Doh!

I'd say get a 63, but they don't have any.
