If I had the space/time I'd be snapping up something like this to rebuild: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190663539631

I had a bad few months of Iliotibial band syndrome seemed to stem from cycling aggressively (trying to go fast and failing) on Boris bikes on a daily basis to work, that perhaps along with how little you can adjust the settings on them, plus lots of barefoot running and not stretching enough must have caused it.
Got referred to an NHS physiotherapist who got me stretching a couple of times a day, the important one I was told was to do the lying glutes stretch. Got given a sheet of leg exercises you would see in a Mr Motivator video but said sod that and went to the gym instead, physio seemed impressed with that attitude.
It all got me into a really good habit of stretching every day even if I don't do any running or cycling. Since then I've got myself a SS bike I put together and haven't had any problems.

Ahoy
New bloke here, living in N London, sad to say the reason I got back into riding bikes was Boris, the horrendous hire bikes. I hadn't had a bike for years & also now my flatmates are sick of me borrowing theirs so I am putting together a single speed from scratch. So will looking to pick brains, my nose, etc
Thanks for mentioning Rat Race Cycles, I've got a couple of wheels to get built up and I am literally minutes away so will pop in.
