just wondering...not that any of mine would be good enough!

I'd like to see some showcased.

not a SS exactly, but by default, as you are too scared to take your hands off the bars to scange gear in case of losing the not already too great balance.

This sounds like a great idea....

Bit of a bloody sceptic aren't ya Mike!

m just joking, single speeds are cool as long as they're retro. It'd probably be a good idea because it open the competition up to more than just Cartsen & Rumpfy :?

I wouldn't mind betting that Carsten would pull a cool SS Adroit out of the bag

Thing to remember about ss though, there isn't really a period groupset etc. So any build is likely to be partly modern anyway. Wasn't it Keith Bontrager that said ss was supposed to be a bodge of old bits anyway?
Mine started a bodge, then i started getting missed eyed with syncros and raceface :twisted:

Reckon it'd have to have a melvin though (did they ever do them in wacky colours?) and WORD hub - they were around BITD weren't they?
