Should I ss this Cannondale Topstone 4? Great bike for the price. Wanting to do a 40×16 ratio bc that’s pretty comfy with my riding level and works with road and on gravel+. Been told by my roadie friends (who needs em) all I’d be losing is speed. Only issue is it’s my only bike where I live now and may be moving somewhere with tougher climbs sooner…

I know this is the SSC sub, but don’t wreck a good setup just to go SS. The best single speeds are made by giving old frankenparts a second life, not by downgrading an already solid bike.
You can buy a single speed for like $50 on craigslist. It’ll cost more to have someone reinstall your drivetrain.
is that steel?
