Haven't done the 3 peaks yet, but it is on the list to do!!

What I like about them are that they are so fast and yet versatile - means I can ride long distances quickly on road, and still be able to go up dirt tracks when I like (something I wouldn't do on my bling road bike).
Got two, one with gears i bought specifically for the 3 peaks, gained an entry last year but it was cancelled two weeks before (devastated) but got a definate place for this year, and one singlespeed that i use for work and general training, love it and definately got stronger using one gear, bling road bike's only been out once this year and mountain bike is collecting dust in cellar. Think i'm a compulsive bike hoarder
