Rear hub has 2 integrated gears, which shift auto at a certain speed and also have a coaster brake.

Going back in the day, that was the only way to brake.

I've just measured the chain length and removed links. It's a normal hollowtech II BB, not eccentric. The rear hub has 2 integrated speeds which shift automatically at a certain speed and coaster brake.
It's a track frame with MTB 27.5 wheels - a weirdo to say the least

Thanks!
Wheelset is called Gray Shadowland or something. It's just some cheap generic Taiwanese 200 dollar wheels. But they're the lightest I could find at that price and didn't really want to spend too much because it's just the commuter bike. Weighs 1420g ish.
The chain is Izumi Black. Didn't want to go cheap on the chain because brakeless. D:
Crankset is just generic Taiwanese cranks. It's anodized aluminum, nothing fancy, but fairly good for the 80 dollars I spent on them.
It rides really well which is the best part.

Never head of Izumi chains before, are they tough?
Overall bike weight?

Seems the chains aren't that popular here, but gave up and bought one from Germany, after I've read some reviews. Awaiting delivery.

Sorry, thought I had replied, but yeah, they've got a pretty good rep in Japan and the fixed gear community. Though it's mostly driven by NJS fever which is dumb because NJS isn't a mark of quality.
They're pretty good so far, and I've been using them for around 3 years now.

Chain arrived, i like the build quality, seems solid, runs smooth. Did you keep the safety link, or used a normal link to solder the chain?
