Any riders in Poole/Bournemouth?

[FONT=Arial]Hi Plinth, I ride a Raleigh Record single speed[/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]. I can't get enough of it ,sadly after an altercation with a car on Charminster road a few days ago I am nursing a v painful ankle, Thank God the bikes OK though![/SIZE][/FONT]

Charminster Road eh? I live at the bottom - past The Broadway and left onto the Chesildene estate.

Ain't nowt hideous about a Pashley ... converting a MTB to single speed usually costs about £80 to 100 quid, I have a on-one rear sprocket, KMC 3/32 chain and a conversion kit that I bought from charlie the bike monger. Been working flawlessly that setup has for about a year with also zero maintenence.

You might not say that if you'd seen it! (photo linky) Mercifully it has horiz dropouts but weighs a metric ton. Sturmey Archer hubs anyone?
