Minimal Road Bike

I’ve been lurking for way too long. I finally have something I’m proud of to show. Comments and critiques are welcome.

Sick, I love it!
Only a little nit-pick after looking at the top view. The bottom bracket width is too wide, making your chain-line off. The chainring will normally sit pretty close to the chain stays on a single speed, allowing the rider’s “Q-Factor” to be at a natural width.

One other thing that will help with your chain-line is that the rear wheel isn’t symmetrical like the front. The drive side hub flange will sit closer to the center than the non-drive side, making the drive side spokes shorter than the non-drive side.

Besides that little nit-pick, I would shred the crap out of this thing.
