Mercian singlespeed town bike build

[jonny jeez]

Thanks MonkeyLC

Finally, just need some foot retention then it's 100% complete, but I'll be riding this with the pedals as they are for now.

She looks fantastic. So....how does she ride?

Thanks, she rides butter smooth, and the ratio is perfect at the moment. I just need to get used to single speed again, then I'll go down a lesser toothed cog.

having actually ridden and seen it in the flesh the frame rides really nice and light not convinced about being Mercian though

nearly i think , but anyway have had my first few rides on this now and can honestly say its a fantastic frame to ride just need to sort out gearing as when doing 17 + mph me and bike are spinning like crazy . sorely tempted to put it back to gears yet

Not sure about the routing of the cables, personally I would have them coming down in front of the bars rather than behind.
