My First Stanton Switchback (gen1) and my current one (gen 3). I’ve put way more miles on these hardtails than any other bike I’ve owned.

So… my current ht, chromag rootdown BA, blurs the lines a little too much with the big bike and with the imminent arrival of a 29er steamer the chromag will be retired. What I’m looking for to replace it is more of an xc/trail ht, more of a ride all day bike… preferably 120mm fork, preferably not too radical with the geo 74/68 70mm stem would be fine, preferably lightish and steel and preferably single speedable…

What’s out there!?!?!

2008 Scandium Frame Niner One 9

22lb. build with tubeless setup.

Single speed with attitude. Giant ass Chub rear hub, super strong wheel but light AF - it's a dirt jump hub!

Cannondale Lefty fork with a project 321 conversion steerer tube in order to fit a fork which requires a tapered head tube to the straight 1 1/8" headtube on the older frame.

Magura Marta & deore brakes, carbon bars, raceface dues cranks. Fast, light, playful, awesome handling - this bike ticks all the boxes. Can also be run with mysmaller tires, rigid Niner carbon fork, and clip pedals for the sub 20lb. variation and more of a light duty cross country rig.

Thinking of going in a different direction with this and spending the money to build a wheel around a 14 speed IGH Rohloff Speedhub to swap in on the rear wheel. It will add a lot of weight and reduce its jumping abilities but overall will increase the bikes capabilities 10x fold. Really don't want to put a derailuer, but it would be great to have gears on it and I am obsessed with the concept and looks of an internal geared hub.

Thoughts on adding gears to the drivetrain?

What was that overdrive front chainring? Hammerschmit or something? Not a bad idea for singlespeed, you get a low and high without a conventional mech. No idea if they were any good, and probably not made anymore.
