I'd like to build up a single speed with fixed potential on a budget, would this be a viable frame geometry wise? From the shoot picture I think it has horizontal dropouts and clamp on handlebars but I'm not sure at all - Going to see it Tuesday to test it size wise and to confirm those things.
I'd like to go Bulhorns, whether thats flipping and cutting or buying them in so should I go for more or less or the same reach than my very compact feeling tricross.
I'm thinking dark green frame, tan tape and saddle though thats not settled at all. To be a blitzing around/into town bike in a fairly hilly area (though I have climbed the biggest hill in the middle ring fairly comfortably today). Should I be worried about road quality (shitty) when chooosing components or not fussed.
Also whats the score with wheels, do I just swap out the cassette for a single ring for now or is it a depends on type of wheel thing or do I need to build one up with a new hub (I know I will if I want to go flip flop hub).
