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)

When it fits like a glove

Although I love riding I love my bike so much that in the back of my head I have a fear that I will crash and trash my bike. Then I'd have to get a new bike and I would have to get used to it. I love getting on my bike and feeling like I know it and how to handle it better than anything else. it just feels so right.

Take detailed measurements and save up for a custom frame exactly like it.

And an infinite supply of beer.

This beer tastes so good it almost makes me cry. What happens when I finish it? Good thing I've got my backups...
