• Hi all

    Just moved to London and looking for a reasonably cheap single speed to see me through a couple of years commuting (when my visa will expire). Would love something with a bit of charm and character - a nice paint job, belt drive or other unusual features would go a long way!

    The Wishlist (all totally negotiable!):
    Price: £250? Or more for the right piece!
    Frame: steel or alu, 58cm
    Forks: cheap and cheerful
    Bars: flat, bull or drop
    Rims: deep profile, sealed bearings. Not hugely fussed about size, weight, spoke style etc
    Brakes: anything decent
    Tyres: anti-puncture (not a deal breaker by any means)
    Pedals: I’ll be riding both with and without clips, so either touring style or clipless with a bit of platform to put a regular shoe on.
    Saddle: Leather ideal, but anything will be fine really
    Misc nice-to-haves:

    1. Decent D-lock
    2. Helmet
    3. Floor pump
    4. Rear mudguard
    5. Bell
    6. Multi tool

    Thoughts welcome! I don’t want to spend ages hunting down the perfect solution, so I’m also considering just hitting up Goku, Re-Cycle or Camden Cycles for whatever they’ve got in stock. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.

    Cheers
    Rory
