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)

I think that thread lasted 4 posts before it got locked or moved to Foo or something.

So my signature is like the ultra-rare, one-off 12" by a band who only recorded 3 songs of klezmer-metal (klezmetal?) in 1981 of the signature world.

My Rossin (alu) is way burlier than that. I haven't cut it up, but I can tell you it just is. Argue all you want, but you're still a dingus.

maybe that's why it broke?

or was it you were riding a bike on the street that was not designed for use on the street?
