Hi,
help and advice if anyone can spare a few minutes. I have been commuting all over london for a couple of years on my trek 7.5Fx and think id like a single speed. Mainly for simplicity but also lets be honest for the looks. I have see a lots of the bigger brand names, langster, le monde etc. I have always had a soft spot for a surly steamroller and have recently taken a look at the on-one pompino model. however as you may have guessed im not a bike expert despite doing a lot of cycling.
Any advice or reccomendations would be helpful. Im pretty tall 6'4" and 85kg so some people say i shoukd go for a steel frame. My budget is upto £600 so i think the old condor pista is a bit out of range although i love the look of the classico.
Many thanks
