I've got an entry level road bike that, at the moment, is just getting used for the ride to work. Given that it's a short, flat run, I can totally see the point of having a singlespeed here - things are always getting gunged up with big-city, winter-road crap. Perhaps if I ever buy a new road bike I might convert the OCR3 rather than selling it...

I also have a more mid-range hardtail. I'm currently debating whether to make quite a few upgrades or to just buy something lighter and faster and, well, "blingier" and having the Tass as a winter bike. No point making the decision until I know what's happening with my job after July, but I can certainly put in some quality daydreaming between now and then! (Not to mention time to put in some quality money saving! )
