It's a rigid singlespeed[1] & I had been intending to sell on the wheelset and other not-enough-gears-or-suspension parts and tranfer forks and other componentry from the current favourite bike.
Having gone for a quick rigid singlespeed blast just to see what it's like and found the ride stretching out to two hours from an intended 45 mins I've decided 1) that my spin's rubbish 2) it's great fun, even more so than my inability to spin fast enough on the flat bits!
I've an enormous urge to gush but there are still 2 1/2 hours of decent light and I'm off to do some more miles (just to check the setup😉 before it gets dark. Come on food, settle! Maybe after a few more rides my thumbs will learn that there's no point in twitching to change gear....

Congratulations! Isn't it great when you feel what this SS thing is all about? I got my wife an Inbred for our 10th anniversary last year and she loves it. I ride a Surly 1x1 and it's great too. I put a shock on mine because the rigid fork was too jarring for my bad shoulder.
