7005 SSCX for Kansas City, Mo.

While it may be a darker shade of green, this frame is very much what I build for the team riders who like the single speed category. Having an EBB simplifies things for the disc brake and rear thru axle. 
The head tube is slightly different in that it is a 44 MM ID non-tapered. The head tube takes a pressed-in headset rather than a drop-in style. This is a bit more weatherproof and some people think that it is more durable. I think that both systems are good. The fork is an Enve G-series with 47 mm rake.
This one will likely be in some races out in the midwest and great lakes. Maybe if Covid does not shut down the nationals in Illinois I get to see it being ridden. i'm always at course side for the single speed race- it is always the most entertaining.
