The ridiculously crap weather this year has led to some
upsettingly rapid drivechain wear. In addition, my move to Cambridge has meant
I am riding offroad more but seeing very few hills meaning there was only 1
direction to go in… Buy a singlespeed! Since the beginning of 2012 I have been
riding the excellent Giant XTC Composite 29er and have absolutely no desire to
regress back to a 26 inch bike meaning this build would not just be a recycling
project with all the old bits I have in the garage but an almost completely new
start.
