First off, I have to thank the dozen+ people who took the time to reply to my question.
Second, assuming there are others considering converting a geared bike to SS, I want to share that the votes were overwhelmingly positive for the White Industries Eccentric Hub and, as another (potentially even better) way to accomplish the same conversion, their Eccentric BB.
Cheers to one gear,
