Hi all,
The eagle eyed amongst you will notice this is my 3rd question in this forum this week (having just joined). Just trying to make the right decision on my next purchase, and really do appreciate all of the help!
So, I'm looking to spend under £400 (£300 would be nice) and get myself a single speed bike that I can use locally, and keep my lovely tourer at home.
However, when I look at single speeds and chat to friends who understand the geometry better than me, I've noticed that most of them seem to have a more 'aggressive' riding position than I would like.
My tourer is a Kona Sutra, and before that I've always riden flat bar hybrids. I'm looking for some more similar to either of those (flat or drop bar is fine) so would really appreciate any idea on which brands or models to check out to find some more relaxed style single speed bikes?
The only one so far that I have spotted is the Vitus Dee 29 from Chain Reaction, which is very much a hybrid type bike with a single speed drivetrain:
