Started out as a BSA 10-speed of unknown vintage. Currently running a 53x18 (~80in?). The gearing seems to be working in that I can see 25mph comfortably, 30 at a push, and can still slog at 15 into a headwind ;-)
I'd be the first to admit it's a bit rough and ready in places but I reckon my total outlay (inc initial bike purchase, excl 'consumables') has been about £160. Nuff said ;-)
Since I took these I've changed the handlebars for some trekking-type ones for more leverage and a forward position. It's also got covered in mud and filth. Jet-wash time I think...
