very interesting and unique build. am i right to say that you are using a 10 speed chain with a sram force crankset?

Thanks.
The 10-speed chainring was removed from the SRAM Force BB30 crankset and replaced with the Sugino 46T chainring and a standard single-speed chain.

nice. any issues with chain line by doing so? i always thought of using road cranks but not sure of the fitting issues and chainline.

No issues so far, though I haven't put that many miles on it yet.
