SINGLE SPEED ROADIE


Morgan, October 8, 2010

No, I'm not after a fixie (though I'm planning on having a crack at Track Racing next year...), but can anyone recommend a good, inexpensive single speed road frame that uses standard road brakes? (just bought some new SORA's... yum!)

I may seem like a maniac, not wantings to run gears... but I love the purity and fun of single-speed, and it's a draned sight easier to look after.

Cheers folks

I have been running this one all year and it is awsome for the money.

I think Edinburgh Bicycle Co-Operative have a sale on as well now so you can get it for £250 delivered... bargain.

Linky please?

I could only find this on their website:

I like my bike but it needs a hidden 25cc motor Smile

sorry, it looks like it has gone back up in price Surprise

Lovely bike though and a bargain at £300.

If you are knocking around in the fens before Xmas shout and we can meet up so you can have a spin on mine.

I used to have a single speed road bike for commuting on

When I switched to a geared bike instead my commute was slower

I'll definitely have a single speed road bike again
