Still undecided about gearing for this bike. I had a crazy idea today (a regular thing with me) that i could set this up single speed for a while. Reason being that i could get it out on the road with a faff free set up so i can sort out the geo and get the bar height reach sorted. I have all the bits i need to SS a deore set up. That would mean temporarily cannibalising my mtb workhorse for the gusset chainring and cog/spacers. The joy of the kaff frame is the option to swap dropouts. But i think there is enough play in the ones installed to get a good chain tension. I may even decide that SS or 9spd is enough for non-mountain touring duties.
