ok i really want to try a single speed road bike with some bomb proof wheels (many spokes) and a flip flop rear hub with one fixed and one free wheel setup style, probably looking on the smaller setup with ease of mind for climbing hills (maybe 42 / 16/18 ?? :-).
i'm looking to buy this for some leisurely touring rides and the odd flattish moderate ride, looking for puncture protection if possible tyre wise and handle bar style prefer the charge bull horn look and feel, ideally with brakes both front and rear due to the "freehub" element of use.
i plan to ride free hub in a group while trying out fixed when on a solo ride out.
if someone has a ideal fit sitting around not being used give me a shout, i'm not in any real rush but it's something on my list to get, i live in Berkshire and around 35-55 mins drive away from m25 motorway. ideally local if possible .. price wise as useual cheap as possible...
also forgot to add i need the geometry style that means my feet will miss the front wheel when pedaling and turning the front wheel (some older bikes are so close that your toes catch the wheel when doing so)
