sold beam saddle and post £ 20
subTotal £180
added panniers to sold bike -17
net cost of experimenting £37 (plus some spares)
however I also kept the following spares: dual drive rear wheel (sold the space genie with a Mezzo 9 speed wheel fitted with 7 speed cassette), kept one set of bar ends, also kept the mezzo 9 speed cassette, mileometre.
To get a 3x7 dual drive wheel build up would cost Hub cost +£30 for rim,and £50 for the wheel build. Well over £100.
So this has worked out quite well, but I did wounder at the time !
