Singlespeed Bicycles

Mission Bicycles are so simple and so functional, it makes me realise why I ride like to ride Singlespeed Bicycles
Nice simple design, and some really nice colours too, what more can anyone ask for ??

And there are no Hill's you can't walk up, and one more excuse why you have to ??

Fast Week

Well, that week went quickly it's Friday already !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I received a couple of copies of "The Outcast" this is a magazine which is supposed to be for folk who ride Singlespeed bikes ?? ( as I ride a singlespeed bike I though it would be an interesting read)
But why do some folk who ride Singlespeed bikes have to try and make out that singlespeed bikes, are cyclings answer to Alcoholics Anonymous ??
Why do some people have to have a badge and a banner to wave as if they have something to prove ???
Singlespeed bikes were the only bikes when bicycles were invented, so why do some people like to make out that they reinvented the wheel by rediscovering the singlespeed bike ???
The good thing about the singlespeed bike is it's simple, one gear means less to go wrong, no fancy expensive parts to buy if you don't want to.
but if you have an inferiority complex you can always boost your ego by buying expensive parts just to impress your friends.

It's turned Cold

The Sun is shining but it's still cold.

Just built up another bike as a singlespeed, it turned out the wheels would not convert to singlespeed as the hub is Suntour MD with a screw on cog.
But I had a set of wheels that converted easily so they went on instead, chainrings came off easily and the secondhand Dmr Bashguard I got from the Retrobike Forum fitted straight on.
It's nowa simple 32x16 singlespeed setup .
The biggest job was changing the tyres and the chain tensioner fitted perfectly with very little slack on the chain even without it.
