What about this:

I think that bike ruined itself way before the saddle had a say in the matter.

This might be on it's way to London.
I hawked, and am on the verge of winning.
Holy shit. My girl will have a Makino.
When's pay day? I'm so stupid.
That's a beautiful frame. In fact its so beautiful it could be a part-time model. Good luck!

Normally you have such great taste in bike but i really must object this time.
- Why choose that frame to run ss? There are plenty of Klein frames with horizontal drops if you want to go ss.
- Who the hell goes fast enough on a ss xc bike to require a 4 or maybe even 6 pot front brake?
- On the subject of brakes, the rear caliper doesn't look like Hope though the lever clamp (just visible on bar) does look like Hope, frankenbrake?
- Period sympathetic seatpost and saddle but nothing else? Cranks, chain tensioner and forks in particular look far too modern for the frame.

Looks like a good solution to the split frame problem but that belt line is waaaay off.
That will be off as soon as it's pedalled.Edit: Upon second look, it doesn't actually look like a gates belt in which case my knowledge/experience of belt line and derailment may mean nothing.
If it was Gates the belt should be tight against the inner lip on the rear pulley. -

Some people love the original Flite, no point changing if it suits your arse.
The X-Lite post works as well as anything modern with the same layback, again no point changing for changes' sake.
4-piston caliper on a 160mm rotor may or may not be enough brake - single speeds go as fast downhill as other bikes, and fat blokes take a lot of stopping. I've got 4-piston XT brakes and a 200mm rotor on my single speed.
Vertical dropouts and a tensioner is a set up which has some advantages over horizontal dropouts, so I wouldn't criticise it for that even though I went the other way with mine.Overall, that doesn't look like a build put together with the hope of achieving porn status, it looks like something thrown together from what was handy and functional.

The Rock Racing looks interesting
The 4815 was, rightly, in antiporn when it was launched.
