I have a single speed that I’ve ridden that route on many times and it’s not fun. It’s 15km with a fair few long hills and a few short ones (and I ride via Crouch End at least twice a week for gym so that’s a no go on a single speed)

Pinnacle Arkose (& Dolomite) are great bikes. I have a singlespeed Arkose and buying a geared one from a friend this week. Really great vfm and fun to ride. Not much between (I think?) them except clearance for bigger tyres on the Arkose.

oooh, nice. have you seen the new 2019 arkoses? dynamo routing! 3 bottle cage mounts!

they look bloody lovely. so much love for these new style adventure road bikes.

that’s what I’ve got

(but not that exact spec i don’t think)

convinced my sister to get one to replace her knackered boardman hybrid for her commute. she loves it! she’s in bristol so it’s not flat either.

  • “Bee-Tea-Win”
  • A slightly French pronunciation of “Between”

Such a shit name, TRYIBAHN

my friends say treeBAN which i find odd

This all made sense and it was all the instruction I needed to get the job done, thanks Niki :+1:

…except I forgot I still only have a rubbish mini pump so I have given up on completely inflating it for now. Must buy a proper pump.
