I undoubtedly will - and will likely share them as and when I get to them

And it's a neat ride. I think if I was wanting something for countryside touring, or to fly off and explore another country then I'd definitely go in that direction, but for scooting around london, all I really want is speed, easy hefting and minimum of things to go wrong. Ok so the rims thing doesn't really entirely fit there but I want better braking and since I don't need the clearances for mudguards it seems like a reasonable direction for a folly project bike at least. I am - however - unlikely to go *too* far and start drilling tiny holes in all the components...
As for the pole; with a total input of 7 opinions at this moment, and a score of 3,3,1 for the options, I think it's stretching it to say what the outcome is. Small number make such poles meaningless, two people could come in and change the outcome right around, but I'm sure you knew that already
Yes... The poll is just a bit of fun. People love to click radio buttons!
