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 just so right.

OTOH, if I wanna go 30mph, none of the FG's are geared to acomodate. Easier to switch bikes than cogs, just sayin'

I only have 2 bikes...both of them are fixed. I only have to decide between aluminum or steel for the day. They both rock though and whichever one I choose, I'm just happy to be able to ride one that day
