Finally got out on my v3. Picked this up as a fixed gear race bike and commuter. Working to bring some fixed events to mn, and already race gravel (fixed) and tracklocross. Last year i used my felt breed and my trek Crockett. I LOVE the ability to run 38’s (mn gravel is mostly hero. People wanna say you need 2” tires, but you don’t…)
55cm v3. Got the gray and magenta due to team kit colors (pink and orange). Rear wheel is an all city to a carbon whiskey rim. Front is an old zipp. 30mm pirelli p-zero for pavement. I’m an MXP guy for gravel and cross. 165mm sugino 75’s w some cheap bmx pedals and holdfast straps (they were red but my kids pink paint marker got them matching enough). Easton monkey lite riser bars will stay, but i need a stem w less rise. Ritchey super logic seatpost. Carbon rail arione. That’s about it. Pretty simple build. Have a few different drop bars that’ll get switched on and off for different events.
So far, i dig it. I had a v2 a size bigger and i didn’t love it, but i did like it enough to chance this one.
Something about the big tire clearance just makes this perfect for me. Oh. And 49-17, since someone will ask. Love this thing and am excited to really thrash it this year.

Thinking about getting one of these myself here soon, miss having a single speed bike.
One of the biggest upgrades from the v2 I used to have was adding wider tire clearance. I already had mine close to max, but 38s with that sounds like a dream.
Just got one of these myself as well
