This is my mates 'road towner'. Far too flash for that I reckon, but then he has far too many flash bikes.
He has ditched the tensioner and is running a smaller chain ring now.
Not bad eh?

Hot! Looks very nice.  What tyres are those?
Do you have Alfine envy?

Tyres are Vittoria Cross XG - apparently they wear very quickly.
Yes, I have alfine envy. Internal geared hubs, there's just something about them that takes my fancy

On my unit the dropouts slide so the disk brake mount is always in the right place |
Same with my Cowan. |

The rebas are especially silly - I told him to go rigid, but he already had the rebas lying around. I think he's going to venture offroad on it sometimes, hence the tyres.
He has a rather nice collection of bikes: blur, nomad, niner rip to name some, but the singular is my favourite. Not that I'm envious or anything.....

After much uming and aahing and general lazy/busyness, i finally got round to single speeding my '84 Morrison Monark Royale.
Really stoked with it now, just want to tidy it up a bit more; soft grip tape for my ageing hands, full de-grease and lube up etc..
Got it fixed on 42:17 which seems like a good option for Chch, and left the rear chain rings on if i need to change.

Here is my ride, got it from the dump of $10 and only needed a new crank, tire, cables and chain. It's a single speed I have yet to remove the rear cluster as it's a screw on and don't know if I can get something to make it just have one ring on it.

Looks like:
http://www.reelight.com
Shipping 10 Euro.
Yeah they are pricy but no battery hassles. I got mine in europe.
They are always on which gets the cagers attention during the day too.
Supposedly maintenance free but the mount does wiggle a little as the magnet goes by.
