I have a single speed Ciao. Its fun, but the low end sucks. I picked up a Grande for the rear tranny so I could variate the Ciao.
This is the Ciao before in single speed operation

I am using the stock Grande rear tranny and a Malossi front variator. It works alright, but currently needs heavier weights in my opinion. Its also really eating the Malossi belt.
Update!
I got the correct Malossi belt from treats! The Ciao Malossi belt, it works perfectly and doesn’t create belt dust anymore. Also I went to slightly heavier weights and now its working great!
