Seems very sheddi. "What else do you need: Blah blah blah and Tin of Hammerite."

I want one.

I'm going to give it a go as a summer project if they can deliver in time. I have an old hybrid I
don't use anymore and it has reasonably decent componentry. My only thought was whether a 26" wheel
would be preferable to a 700c back wheel, my hybrid is 700c. I could hatchet up a **** mountain bike
but the transmission on that is **** and I'd end up buying more bits as well.

I also feel severely tempted, especially as I may be "resting" for a while in a couple of weeks.

I'm tempted as well, I have access to a local scrapyard which has been known to have old bikes
stacked miles high in one corner.
