sorry to derail fruitbat...
Been riding the Carlton conversion project to work geared this week. It's quite nice and a good fit but really slack, desperately needs painting and it weighs a metric tonne.
I'm not entirely convinced it's worth converting though gonna drop 2 or 3 hundred on it and it's but nothing much more special than a Ebay special from Hacked.
And while I was deciding, I've been given a wee pay rise at work and are re-locating so there will prob be no commute. So figured it's time to use the ride to work on a bouncy full sus b&b which gives me a few options.
Sell the fuji, cindercone and see what I can get for the carlton and buy myself a shiny colnago from italian ebay and bung on open pros on some high flange hubs and fairly classic bits...
or sell the cindercone & carlton respray the the fuji in eggplant with cream panels and upgrade all the bargain basement stuff on it.
