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)

haha... i think these pics make it look a little larger than it actually is? it was sold as 60cm and is stamped on the bb as "P60", but i'm yet to measure it myself. i'm 6'4" and this is a bit smaller than my other bike, but it was too good to pass by

there's no velodrome near here unfortunately, despite my sincere wishes to get into the sport. it won't be a daily ride by any means, but i may take it out to the alleycat or the 'ghettodome'
