Gears !!!
Single speeds are for sadists with the build of racing snakes !
Sorry !! Just in one of those moods0 -
I haven't managed to change my bike out of hear 2-7 (14) for about 3 months now, I ride up hills and down hills and just about everything in this gear
I did actually manually change it a few days ago into 2-4 to go up a steep hill, but it felt wrong :?0 -
I'd have a look at the Genesis steel singlespeed too, if they still make it.
Often see singlespeeds at good discounts, so worth looking around and being flexible.0 -
if I was spening £900 I'd go for somthing that can be converted to gears if needed!
This would be my choice everytime- flexibility in terms of SS/Gears, great price, good weight, not heard a bad word. I just went for the 456 in the end

Bit of a waste spening 900 to dump most of the drive train. Frame with horizontal dropouts would be nicer as well :P0
