i'm getting ready to get a new bike. i've been riding a univega and have been really only using 3 speeds, in the front, and i'm pretty sure i only want/need 3-speeds for my 3-mile (one-way) relatively flat commute.
i'm having a hard time finding a 3-speed bike.
is it easy enough to loose the back derailleur and just use the front? as in, buy the bike but the have the shop modify it?
any suggestions?
one though is to build my own (at lest choose the parts). i'm think a surly cross-check frame, or similar.
thanks y'all
