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)

Notice the right crank arm is missing. The owner only had a left leg. I'm told he was pretty fast also.

I don't like whatever that is going on at the headtube. That bike looks like it has a goiter.

That photo is a weird angle, looks less odd straight on.

FYI: That is a different model FES.

There are quite a few different FES models out there:






And they are all very fast.

And some of them have goiters on their headtubes. :-/ I understand that it's probably for aerodynamic reasons, but it looks funky.

Are those clipless pedals with straps? where do I get those so I don't have to swap pedals if I don't want to wear my riding shoes?
