I'm thinking of building up a Pompetamine for commuting duties, and for tackling the odd off road exploration. This would be my first foray into single speed, something with disc brakes, and building a bike up - everything that I've owned or ridden has been geared and OTP (I know, I know).
What sort of parts would be good to look out for for a budget pompetamine build? I'm looking for cheap, hard-wearing stuff - I don't want to care if I fall off it going through a ditch, lock it up outside, get it filthy etc etc.
Been following this thread http://www.lfgss.com/thread119866.html with interest, so I might just copy that :)
The other option is to wait until my C2W scheme renews in March and get myself a Genesis Day One Disc, but a) I already own an Equilibrium and b) I think I'd end up caring about it too much...
