I have been toying with the idea of building a singlespeed for about a year now.
She is about 99% finished. I took her for a spin last week and completely fell in love with the simplicity of riding SS. I hadn't realized how lazy I was being when riding geared. I will be disassembling her next week to have the frame, seatpost, stem, and bars bead-blasted to the bare aluminum finish. I havnt put her on a scale yet, but I would guess she's in the 25 pound range. Not too bad considering I built this out of pretty much spare parts sitting in the garage.
