You going to do it fixed.
I'll assume you're talking to me, so, yes, I will be riding fixed, as will Mr. Eyefloater.
edit. ps. heading down to the ex now. I'll likely have headphones in while lapping, so try not and scare the poop out of me if any of y'all head down that way. :)

Close but not it Som, it was an electronic device that would overlay a healthy pattern over the brain as it were. Not like a person training their brain. I read it in Wired a couple years ago I think, it made my eyes go pooiiiing!!!! :lol:

This where the ceaseless spinning comes into effect. How's the gearing coming off a stop? Pretty darned good for three days, I'm afraid how apparently bad my pedal stroke has become over the last dozen years once I get on a fixie. That is a bonus for us older guys is if we've been workin on a smooth stroke it becomes muscle memorized over the course of say .... 15+ years. It had better :lol:

That's funny because I remember kicking a certain geared ass on some hills during a CV ride and hearing cussing on my way past. :)
I'm not the competitive type btw, so you're barking up the wrong tree. Just thought I had to give you a taste of your own medicine. :P

40kph? Dude, if you can do 40kph on a 42x16 then you're doing alright. :) I think my fast-cruising speed with 46x16 is probably more like 30-35kph, but without a computer it's hard to tell

i should have spotted that. i wasn't thinking. now i know how my brother felt when, in high school, i hid a copy of "freshmen" magazine in his math binder and it was found by the principal. i think i'm going to be getting a detention with the boss.

I posted more photos in the photo thread but here is the ride all built up (Cavern Cycles rocks hard) I'm still thinking about paint options, thinking about gold leaf, airbrushing, glow in the dark, but for now the brown is pretty wicked. Only crappy part was I lost the bottom bearings and fork race on my delta stronglight headset :( but hopefully it will reappear as I continue cleaning.
