fancy chainrings
I was curious to know if it's possible to purchase 'custom' chainrings. That is, chainrings with patterns in them. I've built a couple of lowrider bikes in years past and have picked up some chainrings for them that were stamped with hearts or filigree patterns.
I'm currently building a fixie and would like some flavor in my chainring.
Thanks!

Evannyc has a nice one on his circle A.
But I am curious, how do the cranks connect with the rings, and does that connection have the strength to handle the extreme torque of a fixed gear?

the chainring bolts to the crank arm with 4 chainring bolts a la LeVeL hubs system. Secure enough to be intended for use on the track. Secure enough for DW to use them on a track tandem!
