  • Wow that's a lot of messages and lots of good points.

    • As others have said two drive sides isn't going to happen.
    • I think I'll go down to 14 and see what they have.
    • I do have a road bike at my parents if I ever have an urge to ride many miles although in my experience I ride from A to B as a mode of transport. I enjoy riding but I have never really had an urge to go up big hills, push myself physically or rack up thousands of miles just because.
    • I've been playing around with gear ratio's and I think I can get alright ratios for both if I can get some slightly longer than average track ends. It will be fixed/fixed.
    • If I do decide to go on a biggish ride I can always stick a new chainring/chain on it and ride in to the yonder.
    • I don't have a job so saving up isn't really going to happen anytime soon, don't mention raiding the student loan either it's not going to happen and that's that.
    • Building bikes is fun and I'm a bit itchy to have a new project to keep me busy.
    • The Condor is a beautiful bike (in my eyes) but I think I'm starting to get a bit too precious about it, at the end of the day it's just a bike and I can always build another when space/funds allow. Although I'll probably be a bit gutted if it goes.
    • As for what I want, who knows? Certainly not me but I know I want to do something.

    Final point, this bike isn't going to be the be all and end all, able to do everything perfectly I know that, but cruising round town and playing polo aren't too far detached from each other and I can't see building an acceptable (or even decent) bike for both being impossible.

    Well I think I covered everything there, sorry for the rambley nature of my post.
