I have always liked the idea if a beard but feel myself to be too short and fat 🙁

I also have a chain an a rear mech but thought that superfluous to SS

Hey,

Any thoughts about suitable frames?

I've taken the easy, cheap route and gone slotted Inbred.

I watched a few Charge Duster SS's go for about £285 complete on Ebay, they look nice. Genesis Io look sweet too.

Genesis IO is a very good first SS frame,strong,not too heavy,ride very well.
I know quite a few lads who've had/ got them.
