  I know it's been a while, but have you still got these, or did you manage to sell them?

  I only joined today, I think I like this forum! I've perused the odd thread now and again, even met some members on the Dunwich dynamo a few weeks ago but now I've finally joined I think I'm hooked :)

  Would of thought it would be pretty cheap to put gears back on with some mtb bars and shifters?

  My Addict R3 has a full ultegra. But I don't lock that up at Sainsbury's with a £4.99 wire lock from Halfords!

  is that a cassette hub?

  Yep, the single speed spacer kit was cheaper than a new dropout hanger last time my derailleur took a smash!

  I hate spinning less than I hate going slowly; it's good training on the flat. I spin at 140 in short bursts, usually more like 120.

  A friend's beater and has to be deserving of a place here..?
  

  I love my bike! It's 34x18 on the back. I tried 16, but it wouldn't work unless I added a chain tensioner. I live up a 13% hill, and take my weekly shopping up in a 50L rucksack on this beauty!

  She was my main bike, then my training bike, now my rat. The only original parts left are the frame, stem, handlebars, shifters. If I show her some TLC on the wrap, then you'll be happy luckyskull?
