I'd go 8spd for better cassette options
-
If you're not in a rush:
- 8spd SunRace 11-40 for £15
- used 8 speed Shimano trigger shifter for like, £5, at most. Or friction thumby.
- 9 speed Shimano MTB derailleur. Maybe Acera as it's only £9 on eBay? Could be shit though, old Deore/XT/etc. if so
- cables and chain
Edit: actually I may be able to send you some of the above, cassette possibly quite worn but a brand new 8-speed chain that I was given for free. Let me check tonight. (it's the remains of my shitty Marin drivetrain)

What drop out have you got? Are you going single up front?

If I were to go to the dark-side with this and add multiple speeds, what's the absolute cheapest I could do it? I'd imagine 7 speed friction shifting of some sort?
