My Bike: 2006 On-One Inbred

I'll be riding my old singlespeed MTB. Although I've had it for 5 years, many of the bits are original. The frame in particular is great - long, springy and tough. I'm using a flared drop handlebar this time - the On-One Midge (see U.S. Framebuilder Matt Chester's review of the Midge). It looks mad but is very comfy once properly set up. Tyres are Continental Sport Contact, which are a commuting/fast touring slick with decent (so they say) puncture protection. Hoping they'll be tough enough for a long trip - we'll see.
