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)

actually it is. the medium affinity pursuit has a 54cm top tube and a 57cm seat tube, so it gets the pursuit look from a jacked seat tube and a marginally shorter head tube length.

pursuit geometry does not mean you get an ill-fitting bike.

Not to mention that he has the seat clamp backwards. That frame is definatly too big, unless the rider is one of the many who think you should be able to touch the ground while on the saddle.

Quite true. Pursuit bikes are purpose-built for a specific event: pursuit racing. They're far from ideal for urban riding.
