Best commute bike

[DrSquirrel]

I was loafing around on the internet earlier and this beauty popped up - as a commuter bike, I can't find any fault with this handsome beast.

Fixie!!

What you'll need is a 19 tooth sprocket. 36, 48 & 64 inch gears.

This is the only one ( I can see ) with a dynohub,,, very important.


But note... THE ASKING PRICE. It has doubled in value.

Went on an experimantal ride yesterday.

Fitted a 22 tooth sprocket to give gearing of 32, 42 and 56 inches. ( Little girlie gears ).
Anything over 16 mph is freewheeling.

Went on a round trip of Fitness First gyms in Kidderminster, the Hagley Road and Stirchley.
56 miles in the end. 5 hours almost dead on.

What's more, I didn't wear insert shorts. Undies and Jogging shorts. Fine.

Got toots a couple of times from motorists trying to tell me I'd got my lamps on. Good, they saw them.
