Well, Kona Paddy Wagon, 22 mile commute, just do it, the simplicity of a single speed road bike, with the comfort of a steel frame, upgrade to a carbon fork to stop getting a bad back, it worked well Kinesis Racelight T 12K Carbon Fork, new TA Axix light pro square taper BB 103mm, expensive but holding together, now a new chain and freewheel, running very well, all purchased from Hexham Bike Shop, great service as always.

Single speeding is clearly the way forward......
