Not a bad ride for less than 10 dollars US. Rear end feels a little dead so I kinda suspect Hi-Ten rear triangle.
When I got her there was no rear derailer, so I put on a nearly dead Suntour XC Pro for shakedown runs.
Stem was a little stubby for my tastes and I had to try out the 160mm tiller I'd recently acquired. Of course it's too lengthy. Got some cheapo riser bars on there as well. Found an almost magic ratio @ 34x15 and put her to work in single speed mode. Chain's a bit tight but if I add a link and go to 17T in the rear the online magic ratio calculator sez I'll be in business.

, cant remember those in the UK ?, BTW my last single speed had a magic ratio of 32-16, a new chain was very slightly tight but was perfect after 50 miles or so when it bedded in.
