What gearing are you using on the single speed ?
Looks like something closer to 1:1 rather than the classic 2:1.
Great for going uphill sure but will spin out very easily.
Personally I run 1.75:1 or 28/16, a compromise between my lack of fitness and the desire not to spin out too much !

Otherwise one fabulous looking bike :D :D :D
