I moved to london 6 months ago, and ditched the train/tube/bus commute very quickly for a bike, as it was sucking my will to live! Have caught the cycling bug after buying a sirrus comp (which I love), but really want to get into single speed for several reasons: seems fun, fancy a project, want a 'get around town bike' without some tw*t nicking my expensive sirrus, want to stretch myself
OK, about me: a beginner, (nearly) no cash left (so must be cheap!), can handle tools but never done a bike, would like to use some 2nd hand parts (save the planet etc), ideally track fork/ horizontal dropout frame.
