this is the smallest I've been on, and not sure I'd be able to do more than a few hundred meters on it!!!

It is a singlespeed tho, just don't think it will handle the mud or hills (up or down)

Blue Dog, if you can think of a good enough cause, or a worthy charity, I will ride my Intense Socom, as a singespeed :sly:
I may be a contender for DFL, but it would be for a very good cause :thumbsup:
