lol I totally spaced on some context there, the bike I’ll be mothballing to make space only has one good use so maybe this build would be a bit more useful. It does bike paths really well but that’s about it.

If I have the room on the track ends I might go with a 46/17 or 48/18 fixed and then a 20t freewheel on the other side. I think that would give me around 70” fixed and 61” free, that might be just low enough to make the bike okay to ride off of the trail.
