Looks awesome!

One good thing is that since you are using a proper track cog on the rear, you could rig up a way to put the speed sensor next to the flywheel that would have a magnet doube-sided...

At one time, all of them were fixed and freewheel is a newer option. Now all are freewheel. Just call their customer/tech support line and find out.

The models with the resistance knob on the top tube are the latest and easiest to modify. When you have to deal with the cable to the V-brake resistance unit, it gets tricky. Basic bike mechanic...
