"BMC Monstercross. 700c wheels and cantilever posts. But that has 135mm rear spacing, so not exactly built for single speed."

Only the latest revision, which has not been delivered yet, has 132.5mm spacing, to allow either 130 or 135mm hubs. The Surly Ultra New is an excellent choice for a 130mm O.L.D. singlespeed, but so is the Problem Solvers Cog and Carrier product for your existing cassette hub: https://problemsolversbike.com/products/cog-carrier Bill "all of the above" Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Friday, February 2, 2024 at 2:16:12 PM UTC-8 Edwin W wrote: > I like single speed bikes, many like single speed bikes.
