I've wanted to do the same thing to have as a city bike, and leave it in Vienna so I can ride to Uni rather than having to catch the underground.

Dr. Jekylls are on the top of my list.

Mine was built for getting to uni and for a bit of street on the way home
I did think about suspension but I started on a fully rigid so I went with the Rebates. Plus the tyres are massive so that will help.

Nice bike dude, glad you got there in the end and finally found the right mech hanger thought the bike looked a tad familiar when i saw this post :P

nice build, though for what you're using it for, i'd have gone for singlespeed and only a rear brake, personally

Pik n Mix

still may go ss yet it depends. At the moment I need some use of gears.

I do like have both brakes I have tried running other bike with one brake and I hated it.

thanks for the comments though

Pik n Mix,

Can i ask what the hookworms are like in width? I'm debating getting some to put on a single speed i'm building but need to know if they'll fit. I know Maxxis tyres can come up a bit thinner sometimes so wondered whether they were the 2.5 they quote?
