I've got one and it's great as a singlespeed, EBB is excellent. Works well as a 1×9 but must confess to only having used it as such a couple of times. I think either go the whole hog with gears or just use 1! I run it with rigid carbon forks, DT 4.2d/HopeXC with light tyres and it feels so fast, light and flickable. I think it is also much more attractive than other singlespeed frames out there (on-one, cotic, etc) and the olive green is ace.
Incidentally it is for sale following the purchase of a Singular Swift and finally admitting after 2.5 years that the 17.5" L/H is a bit small for me (I'm a long legged 6ft).
Medium/17.5", Olive green, VGC. Mail me if interested 😀 Based in Newcastle area.
