I’m hooked!! My new single speed is everything I hoped. Plus more.

Recently I jumped on the SS wagon and got myself a Surly 1×1. It’s a rig my shop (Roaring Mouse Cycles–who rock, BTW!) and I spec’ed and built.

Saturday’s ride was my first real ride on a SS and it was initially…sobering. Having just one gear (18/34) AND a fully rigid frame is not easy! But that’s what makes this whole concept fun. The fact that it’s not easy. I love that!

Plus, the skills I’ve already picked up after jsut two rides (pedal cadence, bike handling) are already noticable.

I’ll keep blogging as Surly and I get to know each other better.

Good times!
