Well, I don't intend on singlespeeding this one - I'm going to leave the 8 speed gearing on it.
I will mount the narrowest, highest-pressure 559 mm slicks I can find though - no reason to have more rolling resistance then nessesary. I might mount a Nitto North-Road to it as well (yes, I know, the eternal English Roadster fanatic MUST have North-Roads).
Take care,
