I just got done riding an old steal mountain bike that I converted over for road bike use. It has 26 by 1.5 tires and a eight speed 11-32 cassette. With a single 34 tooth chainring in the front I have a ninety seven inch top gear and almost a one to one low. Its very stable and simple. the brakes are V-brake clones so it will stop on a dime. The question is do we "need" anything else just to get from one place to another? B.T.W. I had fun riding it, I wasn't concentrating on getting there faster I was just cruising along enjoying the ride. I even stopped and talked to the neighbors. When was the last time riding someplace was just fun? Not training or commuting just riding.
