Hi, as a light cheap student bike this looks perfect. Why where you trying to change the chain ring?
Yeah, this is probably as good a student run-around bike as you could wish for. The chainring business was because I wanted to change to a larger gear but basically have lots of different sized chainrings but no alternative sizes of single speed sprockets to do it that way. I wouldn't worry about wanting to change the chainrings for yourself- the ones on the bike are steel with little wear, and look likely to see you through the period of a long college/uni course IMO.
