Well now y'all got me thinking (this will be a slight thread diversion). I'm not quite ready for fixed, but Will @ Riv is big on 2-speeds on vertical dropouts with a chain tensioner. My soon to be here Cheviot was going to get the electric treatment, but I've decided to do a different bike next summer for that and focus on full-exercise riding this winter (I'm WAY outta shape). I already have enough all-the-gears bikes, so I think a nice, light, 2-speed candy apple red Cheviot would be really sweet: One cog in the back, one big ring up front for going down my hill, one small for riding back home. I already have the Silver 38-24 cranks and 650B wheels from my Clem L; I just need a single cog, Gear Clamps and Paul Melvin tensioner and I'm good to go.
Thanks for the idea, Patrick! It's not exactly what you're doing, but it's a similar thought that will work on my terrain while keeping the frame uncluttered and simple looking, a vibe I've always admired.
