"I just bought a new bike, it's got 24 gears"

[Moodyman]

Joking aside, a beginner would not know about gear ratio.

Agree. We were all beginners at some point. I don't understand this disdain that some folk have of beginners.

I think it would be great to have one again, although I'd probably have to make it from a larger frame. I guess it's time to fire up the old arc welder.

My work bike had 24, now it's only got 8. Discovered this when trying to change front gear to give it a bit of a clean as I never use them and discovered they're stuck.
