Single Speed Bike Conversion

14.11.2011

Got my bike back from South Coast Bikes last week, where they did a complete overhaul and a single speed conversion. I toyed with the idea of fixed gear, but went for a freewheel in the end (I would have got hub gears if I had the money).

The gear is just the right ratio for cycling the really gentle incline from central Brighton to Sussex Uni campus, but it's just slightly too low for the way back. Small compromise for the simplicity and beauty of it now though.
