Woo, new SS MTB (kinda)
Here's my newest addition to the stable: https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WDVW
I know, I know, why buy the geared version of a top quality SS frame if you don't want the gears? Well it was cheap (bargainous in fact), and I may decide to go multi-speed later on (but probably not). Plan is, ditch all the geary bits, lace up my Surly hub, find a magic gear from FixMeUp (https://www.peak.org/~fixin/personal/fmu/php/javafmu.php), and bomb around on it over winter, then get some decent cranks (Middleburns hopefully), maybe a disc hub and matching brake for the back, and I don't know what else. But this one's for messing around on, so with a bit of luck I'll break it and they'll sell me a proper SS one for half price (yay for lifetime warenties).

nice, I like seeing low compact frames like that made into ss for some reason...
I've got a DMR that I botched together for going to work [(48-16)surly rear hub also]
