SINGLE SPEED ROADIE
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 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
If you are knocking around in the fens before Xmas shout and we can meet up so you can have a spin on mine.
Cheers Jimmy... looks like a lovely ride. Let's see what Santa brings!
sorry, it looks like it has gone back up in price
Lovely bike though and a bargain at £300.
Linky please?

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.
