Alu omnom is somewhat finished. Some bigger tires would be nice, but does the job.
Bough a really nice Goi Contini single speed for buttons (~70 EUR), its a tad big, but built a beater with IHG and dynamo hubs. I hate the coaster brake.
And also bought a Ti frame, replacing the steel on the Rohloff-belt-lauf bike. Tire clearance is... gravel-ish, and I'll also need a longer belt and a seatpost with 0 offset. -
Yeah I guess - for now it will get a nexus IGH / dynamo wheelset and strapon fenders for winter.

Just bought this beauty for ~125€. Been ages since I've ridden a single speed.

Summer updates:
- sold the longjohn cargo - was too bulky to haul it up and down from the cellar
- bought an aluminium Omnium knockoff instead
- finally built the rat CX
- sold the GT - kinda sad about it, but did not use it much lately, and needed the space
- sold the longjohn cargo - was too bulky to haul it up and down from the cellar

Does not look a lot less safer than lets say a Velorex.

Finally got an Ursus Jumbo stand for the cargo. Repalced the ball joints on the steering linkage - no more death wobble \o/. Still eyeballing the vscoset tho...
Kinda forget about the budge CX, only needs a casette - the one I had lying around did not clear the spokes.
Also lost about 4 sets of bolts on the GT's rear fender. Ordered a cheap Win Wing knock-off, and its working like a charm (while being silent and light). -
Yeah well, would be an easier install for sure. Price is steep tho for essentially only an upper part of a headset. Any chance You have personal experience with it?

Budget-cargo is on wheels.
Gotta get a steering damper and a kickstand still.
For the CX, Sensah 11 groupset arrived after almost 2 months. Got a Ritchey Venturemax, some old mismatch ultegra cranks, chain and cassette are missing only.
Also sadly the basement where I store most of the bike seems to be damp. Broke two chains due to rusting on the GT.
Just rebuilt my sunday's best bike on a custom chinese Ti frame.
