Oh hai!
I'm new to basically everything - started cycling a year or two ago for the ol' commute, riding an armchair of a bike with too many gears and a frame made primarily of suspension. It was an expensive hassle to look after and pretty much falling apart when I was mugged and bikejacked on the canal. So they kinda did me a favour taking it off my hands.
For the last couple of weeks I've started obssesively trawling these forums and I'm now looking to get my first singlespeed, probably an off-the-peg, as everyone selling used seems to be 8 feet tall and I have no idea how to put something together myself yet. I'd love to find out more about learning to build and do maintenance and generally try and get less clueless about all this stuff.
Yes.
Oh, I'm in East London btw. Pleasure to meet you al!
