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)

Once we get rid of the Iro vs. Surly vs. Bianchi vs. KHS vs. Phil. vs. Don Walker threads this place will be my-t-fine.

But I'll settle for those Chicago nutters taking their banter elsewhere. Ole!

should this go to FOO? No one from Chicago is in here anymore, so it really doesn't apply.

A resounding yes.

Don't piss in a public pool, and then complain about how lame it is to swim at the YMCA. Plus they liked to hog the deep end. Good kids, though. Just a little diva-ish.


Is that a brown M&M? I said no ****ing brown M&M's!
