What would you call this?

96er rigid hardtail SS with a 2-ring crank and Paul tensioner?

I call it my Carver 2-Ner

If I was explaining it to my mother I would call it a 2 speed mountain bike with a larger wheel in the front than in the back. If I was explaining it a mtn biker I would call it a 69er dinglespeed.

this bike doesn't know what it wants to be.... "Should I be single speed? Hm. maybe...Do I wanna be a big wheel bike...hm sorta. I'll kinda try it all"
I'll call this the "Wanna Be".

On second thought...

Deuce.


Two wheel sizes.
Two gears.
And it's the sh*t.

Old thread, but I thought I'd update to say I liked the idea so much, I recently converted a SS road frame to a dinglespeed CX using this set-up.
