I wish you luck on the weather. However, there's a selfish aspect there as I'd like to get out to Cannock if it's dry too! Don't worry about the gears, you'll pick it up fast once it becomes muscle memory - it'll be like riding a bike!

...but I need to get used to the gear changers, as the old Apollo had the twist gears on the handlebars, where as this has the flick touch gears, so need to get my head round them.

In one fell swoop, the fitting of the converter kid reduces your bike to a single gear but you will have the advantage over fixed gear conversions of being able to freeewheel.

As Vernon says.
It was a tongue in cheek comment as a response to your point about gear changing being different. One gear = no problems with changing gear
Singlepeeds don't suit everyone, but a lot of people enjoy riding bikes with just the one gear for all sorts of reasons - the fact that there's no faffng about changing gear being one of them!Nice bike BTW. I'm a big On-One fan but have never ridden a Scandal - be interesting to see what you think to it when you've got a few miles in.

I prefer gears to a single speed, so will haver to get used to them, Ima sure I will get the "feel" for the gear changing in no time. Hitting Gisburn trails this Sunday with group of friends , so very excited about trying out my Scandal. I was originally going to get the On One Carbon 456, purely for its weight, I do not like heavy bikes, and this Scandal is only few pound heavier than the Carbon 456. Its soo light, so should feel a big difference going up the hills. Cant wait and hope to gte some good pics soon.Fran
