Now that is a thought
Jur: Thank you for your kind offer and your advice. I don't really mind single speed bicycles so much as I own a couple of vintage ones I use to ride down the township from home, - and the first bike I ever owned and rode was a single speed too.
If I did buy the $90 wonder I would be going over it with a fine toothed comb before committed myself to going far from home. My Dad believed in teaching his daughter how to do maintenance and repairs back when I was a teenager so I'm quite Ok with doing a proper service and overhaul if I have to.
