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)

God, I know the feeling all too well. If my book was made up of the final produced things, I would never get another job.

It's true, he (luvthemas) doesn't. After spending a good 2 hours putting on new pedals and ****ing around with completely redunkulous bike set ups (on my bike, his was too pretty), we ended up in a parking lot talking about how we didn't want to go to this party. Then we ate Jujubes and played Magic.

As for me, I work two jobs these days: bike builder, bike advocate. Big money over here. Not really.
