retrospec bicycles also, I should have included them initially and totally forgot about them.
yeah, peeps can flat out haul on a single speed. I see them in DTLA all the time. I like the choice of gearing mine came with, terrific acceleration for me without burning my legs up and a good cadence when trying to maintain a high speed. I would think 15+mph is easily achieved on one. I was also initally concerned about just 1 brake, but the brake is very grippy and hasn't let me down yet.
