Also thank you. The helmet is great. Lots of ventilation; it’s light and comfortable.

I went out an got me a Titanium 26er frame from Mark at Habenero. It will arrive probably late this upcoming week and I can't wait. Vintage MTB baby.
Mark is a really nice guy and really got me and what I was doing which was neat. I cannot speak to the quality of the frame yet but I can say Mark is a quality guy and if you are looking for cheap ti from a nice guy, take a look. From what I have heard and seen they seem to be just fine and dandy and for what I need it was perfect.
I will post pictures at some point when finished or maybe during the build as well. It will be geared so no single speed shenanigans on this one but a good mix of some original XT (pre-xtr) and some Paul stuff and some old Nukeproof Ti hubs should be fun. Still trying to decide if I want Chris King, White Industries or Phil Wood purple headset. All are great options but I have to pick one.

. Fixed is a lot of fun. Hard work for sure, but will increase your average speed on other bikes and improve pedalling too.Dace

Dave,
I working on the bike in the post above your crank.... the Ridley.
Replaced undrilled aluminum fork with pre-drilled carbon fork.
Replaced 48T chainring with 42T (chicken legs) and ordered both 20T & 25T cogs. But staying with fixed.
Adding R7000 brakes (front and back) with R400 levers
I didn't want to leave a long steerer, so I'm reusing the same spacers and adding carbon drop bars with a rise in them.
I don't want to take my road bike on public transport, I'm building a commuter, a nice one, but a commuter.
Oh, and ordered some 3M 6mil automotive Bra material for the main tubes.

It's a really good idea having two brakes. Stopping is so much easier, and quicker. Have you found a way to put some bottle cages on your bike? Would be a nice addition as the summer is coming up.

I like the way it moves from bike to bike and just uses the sensors on the bike you brought, including my indoor trainer.
If you connect it to Wifi, it will update itself when necessary..... usually happens as I go out the door late for a ride.
You might want to power it up 5mins before you plan on leaving.

Apparently I’ve completely lost my mind again, because I’m going to stop by the local shop tomorrow and pick up a 16t single speed freewheel for my Schwinn road bike and do a (hopefully quick) conversion to SS. I may have to move some spacers on the axle and re-dish, depending on how things line up.
At that point, both of my bikes will be running 42/16 SS.

About 5 yrs ago I suspected the OEM Shimano freewheel on my '09 Langster was failing (clunking sound).
The LBS offered 2 freewheel replacements. 1. ACS Crossfire($45) and 2. White Industries($110)...prices installed. I had zero knowledge of the difference in quality so opted for the ACS.
From what little I know now.....I should have got the W Industries. I've been trying to find one lately but all the LBS are locked down tight and (parts are low) due to the beer virus.
Looks like GhostSS found what I'm looking for^^^....

Turns out I need to move the hub about 7 mm toward the drive side just to line up with with inner chainring location, so I’ll have to swap spacers around and do some serious re-dishing.
Update edit: re-dishing is pretty much done and derailleurs removed. Also swapped in the 42t chainring, so I can see how it works once I have the new chain.
