@Jimmy_Fingers built a 650b steamroller with a custom disc fork. Not sure if single speed or fixed
-
If you're patient (and lucky?) how about a 1x1?
Ticks the fg/ss, disc tabs, fits >2-inch tyres... I run mine fixed with a front disc and mudguards and love it.

I've gone the fairly ridiculous route of having a cross-check, getting canti mounts chopped,then having disc mounts added. First build was single-speed (29x2" race king tyres) and now its built up with gears (27.5x2" race king tyres).
Andy is spot on, no extra clearance was won at the back by going down to 650b but maybe I lost some weight or something.

@JT
anyone out there done a fg/ss surly build with front/back discs?
I want something to commute on that can have decent size tyres, mud guards, discs and fg. Proabably 650b too.
Have been rolling a Midnight Special over in my head as quite a nice relatively light weight frame. There are plenty of other options from other brands.
Any thoughts?
