Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

this is only speculation, but that may be appropriate for the sister topic, "what i wont like about your bike."

Love: the colours

Hate: the curved seat stays, the cable stops on the top of the top tube, the break levers, the single rear deep V. (Though, I acknowledge the practical application for much of what I'm hating on, and that it's mostly my aesthetic preferences dictating what's listed above).

I'll post my brand new Mark V later for you all to throw under a bus.

I don't know how current this picture is, but I remember when you had it set up with that big Cinelli stem and bullhorns. I like it a lot better without that stem. Your bike is nice either way.

Gross TT protector, reflectors, U-lock frame-mount, cheap-o clips and straps, wheel stickers, clear grips, black (I think?) risers, saddle and saddle angle.
