Hello from Hampshire.
Great to be here! Started using my old Marin Mill Valley hybrid bike a lot more, as car of the road, and really enjoying it. I bought it back in 2004 and am so glad I have kept hold of it! The gearing is too high and the handlebar stem extends too far forward. I'd like to lower the gearing by putting smaller chainrings in place, and get a shorter handlebar stem as I don't have to reach so far forward. It's years and years since done any work on a bike but quite like to do it myself so thought I'd join this forum. Hopefully I'll be able to post some photo's of the bike soon!
