And today I did......

[Mr Panda]

Opened the strange wee package which arrived for me today - and unwrapped the SS conversion kit I won on eeeeeeeebae the other night :cry: :cry: :cry:

b~gger :evil:

If you dont want to go SS Mr P why not go for an 8speed hub gear like a Shimano Alfine hub. No need for a deralier plus no getting clogged up with mud.

However, you will like Single Speed

I didn't like the idea of SS and hated it in practice even more. Strangly I kept going back to it and now love it. Its so liberating to just pedal and steer. No faffing with gears, no chain slapping about, low maintainance and cheap. I was going to run SS just over the winter but will keep on all year round now.
Give it a fair try and you won't look back.

Pretty sure you'll love it , first time out i can guarantee you will instinctively go to change gear at the bottom and top of hills though

Collected my Clockwork wheels from "Bikes by Jon", he offered me a Kona frame (dont know which kind, they all look the same to me ), it's a steel frame 16" so it's tiny, pale blue, look's like it's been resprayed, BUT it comes with headset, Syncros forks, Syncros stem (hinged), Syncros seatpin all for £50 :shock: , was very tempted (even to buy it and flip it) but thought i'd pass on the info anyway as i have enough on my plate, he wont post though, collect only.

Went out on the road bike and did 45 miles, Im getting in the GROVE. Geeting into shape for the GRANNY GRINDERS (sounds like a porn site)

started a huge clearout in the cave , gona bite the bullet and sell a few frames , forks and other bits :roll:

got a start on building a rear 24" wheel for "mr ken" today also

Good on you RobMac, if the rest of the team (not including me) train that hard then I can drag myself round the course in say 6 hours leaving 4 hours for the rest of you to get a lap, excellent
