I thought Id throw this into the mix. Is this considered a singlespeed and would I be allowed to enter any singlespeed event? YOU be the judge! Look closely Watson, its a double cog mated to an eccentric eno for easy fiddling.

YES, yes, not excessively easy to fiddle with.

No different than my flip flop hub that I'm running. The Dos Eno looks sweet, good idea. Got any shots of the whole bike?

The Ito

how do you tension the chain when on the smaller cog?

I believe it was in a past DirtRag where someone had entered an SS race with derailleurs/shifters, only to have nine of the same size gear in the back... :D Sweet set-up...

ENO hub, baby.

Ito, its because the hube is eccentric (the axle is offset so that rotating the hub provides tension) which allows me to run ss with vertical dropouts. The only issue was adjusting the brake so that it would line up with the rim in both positions. Right now it works fine, 17-19t options, and it takes less than a minute to change.

Looks legal to me. As long as there is no way to shift on the fly. It wouldn't be any different than me carrying 3 or 4 other gear options in my camelback. You're just storing them on the bike. Of course I don't believe in any other gear than 32/16.
