build up a ENO rear wheel, if you don't like SS'ing you can sell it easily on ebay

That's a pretty expensive way to see if you like it. The easiest/cheapest way? Put your bike in the middle chainring. Shift to somewhere in the 16t to 20t range in the rear. Go for a ride and don't touch your shifters! :D

People seem to get caught up in the "latest and greatest" thing and miss what SS is all about: simple fun. Sure, I'd love to have some bling on my ride, I think we all would, but I bet I'm having just as much fun on my el cheapo SS ($200, tops) as the guy who's riding the $2000 custom jobby.

:D

Of course, just my $0.02, YMMV
