On Saturday, I intend to pop across to Glasgow and see my friendly Sith Lord, part with some wonga
and place an order for a Streetmachine - a bike I have lusted after for a long time - a SMIDSY last
year leading to some scaphoid bolts has (alas) forced my hand (pun not intended) on this issue.
Unfortunately, my budget is slightly limited (within the premise of buying a bent), and I have 2 choices:-
1) Upgrade the forks, the rear sus, SON lighting system, hydraulic brakes, mudguards, seat
and racks, or
2) Get a Rohloff, rear rack and guards and that would be it.
Which would be a better plan?
Any comments, suggestions, gratefully received, but please don't advocate selling my soul and going
the whole hog, 'cos I already have to get this far.
Many thanks,
Eddie Dubourg
