I have a Plug Racer - now fitted with mudguards and use as my winter trainer. I've never changed the gearing on it from new (42:16) and find it fine for blasting around the lanes in hilly North Wales. I find it really exciting: especially when I come around a blind bend to find something agricultural in the way. The brake position is "challenging" if you've kept the retro track bars on and skidding on wet, leaf covered, usually muddy (or shitty) North Wales lanes isn't very effective.
