The pump track on this:
Different grips and new tires. Those Typhoon Brick tires rode like bricks compared to these new shoes. They ride a little wide on the 1.75s, so a new wheelset with 1.5s is forthcoming.

Neighbor youngster who's dad bought this bike for him and I went out to ride some dirt today, clinic style.
He's a quick study and figured out a few of the advanced tenets already, stoked about speed. I had the Big Orange Machine and cut loose a bit after getting him dialed in to a point. Catching him took more time as the ride progressed.

Cruisin around last night.
The wheels going on it are done, now just waiting on new brake shoes before installing them.

Sweet! 
That's nice!
Winter here in Brisbane now - temps have plummeted to 21c/70f. 
Just right for what I built this bike for - a 'Jungle' run with the dawg.

Sweet bike!
I finished my first build yesterday; after a year and a half of collecting parts, trial and error’s, wrong parts or bad parts bought on eBay; my 1952 Straight Bar is complete. I took it out this morning for the first ride, It rides like a classic Cadillac, Heavy and Smooth!
It still needs some fine tuning, but WOW….. what a ride I couldn’t stop smiling

Took this for a quick spin after airing the tires. About two maybe three minutes and your legs are done. It's a workout for sure. Can you see why?

If you can’t use the smaller ring in front I’d look for a bigger cog.
so how does a full suspension single speed ride?

It is. I’m not sure of manufacturer. But it took the big balloons with no issues. It’s a bit tall for me, but a great ride. I found another locally complete. May have to snag it.

Rattus All Terrainus
Looks very similar to a Worksman M2600
I think yours has different dropouts though
