Welcome

Hi all, just moved into East London from the states. Living in shoreditch now and brought over a geared beast but plan to build a single speed this month. I'll be looking around for some Shoreditch/Hackney/East London riders or meets

Hello all!

Have just bought My First Single Speed - somewhat predictably a Charge Plug. Am loving the change from over 20 years of riding with a selection of gears (although I doubt that my first bike, a Raleigh Apple had gears!)

When I bought my last bike 18 months ago I was all "I need gears! I don't get why people would use them blah blah" and after a couple of weeks with just the one, I wondering how long it'll be till I fiddle with the flip flop hub and go fixie...probably a while given my fitness levels...!
Hey pootsmanuva! Welcome to the forum. Riding SSFG bikes are very addictive! And you dont need to be fit to ride a fixed, its just something slightly different that may take a few days/weeks to get used too. My suggestion is do it safe.

And dont diss the Charge, its a very good Off The Peg (OTP) bike!! Very good build. Come join us at some drinks and rides!
