Oh my. My size, too. And orange! (Joe starts calculating if selling his XO-3 will offset the cost enough..)

That's sweet. And as an added plus, Orange is the fastest colour.

Pardon my ignorance, I rode an old mountain bike through the whole
single speed era.
I get the flip-flop in the rear, but how do you shift between chain
rings?

Too small for me anyway. Which is probably a good thing.
Beautiful bike.

You stop, put the chain on the other ring (and rear cog, if you prefer), adjust the wheel in the horizontal dropouts, and ride on. I think Dos Enos means one side has two cogs so you don't have to flip the wheel around.

Loosen up the QR on the rear wheel, slide it forward and use your
finger/stick/hex-key to move the chain to the other ring. Repeat as
necessary.

The QB has extra long fork-ends on the back, which gives you a pretty
good gear range (eight teeth I think?).
