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)

My CX bike. I'm not a 'cross racer; I just like the configuration. This is a great bike, but it's unfortunately 3 or 4 cm too small for me, so I'm trying to sell it.

Vive Le Roi by Civilian Bicycle Co. Steel frame/carbon fork. 1x10 drivetrain. Mechanical disc brakes.

Is your bike from Civilian's Competitive Cyclist days, or after the founder bought the company back and moved production to the US? IIRC, the SS version got some love/hate here awhile ago...

BTW...as long as you are cross-posting your bikes don't neglect to put your Steamroller in: https://www.bikeforums.net/singlespee...thread-27.html

My first geared bike. Haven't gotten the chance to take a good photo myself, so here's one from the guy who sold it to me.

I don't think it came out of the company's first incarnation, when Tyson Hart was building all the frames himself.

And it doesn't have the "Made in USA" label, so it's not one of the current generation of frames from Zen.

It's probably from the intermediate years, when they were importing their frames.

Regardless, it's really well built.

With the value for the money, I might.
The TCR was an impulse buy (used). The Defy was something I wanted to buy for a while, I wanted an "endurance" bike for long rides. I'm gonna be unloading my CAAD10.

Similar, but different. Different geo, different ride feel. Maybe I'm justifying my purchases but I can honestly feel a difference between the ride and ride position.
