Hi all. Just stumbled upon the site so joined up and thought I'd say hi.
I'm building a very exciting Condor 531-Competition framed fixie/ singlespeed flip flop (currently at Argos Cycles being resprayed in stealth battleship grey).
Also a matt black super-lighweight singlespeed mountain bike with hope hubs and road tyres.
Current steed (only one which actually works!) is a 1980s Peugeot racer which strictly speaking has 12 gears but I've only been using one of them for the last few months (42/16 in fact, to prepare me for when the Condor is ready). :-)
It's quite hilly down here in the South Downs but one gear is still plenty IMO.
