I thought I would add a new post to post your singlespeed. The previous one in from 2007.
I'll go first. This is my Bianchi DISS vintage 2002. I bought this bike new and pretty much stripped all the components off of it and installed better, lighter and cooler components on it. I first installed a RockShox Tullio fork, a Hurricane Zeke crankset, Hope brakes, an Easton EC70 seatpost. For the wheels, I had a friend who is an awesome wheelbuilder, lace a Tioga Disc to a special disc singlespeed hub and for the front I used a Zipp carbon front wheel(very early carbon/ aluminum wheel) I rode it this way for years, changing things here and there over the years. Over the years I tried different things on this bike, even mounting a 27.5" fork and wheels to try out.. Eventually I switched out the fork to a custom Cannondale Lefty fork adapted to fit the bikes 1 1/8" steerer tube. Rode it almost exclusively until 2011 when I bought a geared full suspension Santa Cruz Blur XC. The Bianchi pretty much sat in my garage until late last year when I decided update the bike with a dedicated 27.5 wheelset, a carbon Truvativ XX crankset that I had laying around and I finally got around to machining a drop crown so that I could use the 26" Lefty fork to be used with 27.5" wheels.
This bike rides great and I'm again having fun riding singlespeed again(although not exclusively)
