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)

The Kogswell Porteur is arriving sometime in mid to late June (next month! Yippee!) - after mine's built up you can see me bombing around San Francisco with a maniacal gleam in my eye and big bunches of crap loaded on my bike just like that
