. . . and it's a nice one too - cheers CRC!

Only ordered a £15.99 rim and a singlespeed sprocket (no I don't know why either 🙄 - anyone need a brand new 18T sprocket?), which must've cost as much to post Parcelforce 48 as the order itself, and got a nice 25 year Chain Reaction Cycles water bottle 😀 . Now, what tiny frame to fit a bottle cage to along with a nice pair of Fox F100X Terralogics which the postie has also just brought 😛

Yes, that's the one RD - Shimano DXR cassette sprocket- still in packaging - £2.50 posted if I can't hack singlespeeding after this weekend. Still flinkin' undecided whether to keep it or not 🙄 . I've just rebuild the Inbred . . . again . . . and I'm off out for a ride, using a geared wheel and 36/17. Maybe scardypants is right . . . 😈

Well i'll have it if and when you decide, 32:18 is ideal for 29er SS and my identical sprocket is about 7years old now!

I used my free bottle for the first time this morning and also noticed that the lid leaks if you squeeze the bottle. Wasn't a problem actually in use though.

haha - I wondered if it was just me then with the dodgy 'free' CRC bottle. Guess they got a job lot of them, realised they were rubbish and have been stuffing them in packages as a 'gift'.

So, are you all saying that I'm not justified in dropping the cash on another frame so's I can have a bike with bottle cage mounts?? Spoilsports! 👿 😉

Well i'll have it if and when you decide

Gary I'll drop you an email if I ever make my mind up.

Lovely ride this afternoon - cursing it on the climbs (it was fine on the flat in it's big tyred, over-geared guise 🙄 ). It looks great but I'm torn between keeping it as is (albeit with slightly easier gearing and narrower treads) or going for a 14" Scandal or Kona Caldera frame (with the same kit, plus a rear disc brake).

C'mon folks, help me decide . . . please!
