So, search for terms about which I know nothing, to find a brand name about which I know nothing, or ask the lovely, approachable folk on a single-speed message board? No, completely unreasonable. My mistake.

Andyp, I tried Evans, and one or two other places. Folk in there are friendly enough, but I'd like to do some research before I buy anything. Given that I know almost nothing about the bikes, a friendly message board seemed the place to start.

Sure I'll find one soon.

This place is friendly, on the whole. But, rather than spending just a few minutes nosing around and trying to work out where best to ask your question, you dive in and post in completely the wrong thread, then get all arsey when we poke some gentle fun (which is what it was) at you.

Velocio, who owns and runs this place, likens it to a pub. Would you walk into a new pub, march up to a table of people you'd never met and ask them a random question, vaguely related to pubs? I doubt it.

So, don't take it to heart, spend some time searching and asking sensible questions in relevant threads and you'll get on fine.
