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)

From what he's describing, it strikes me as more of a real flea market with rusty tools and old car parts rather than precious moments collectibles and engraved bowie knives.

UWP, not UPW. Useless without pictures. Usually in the form of TTIUWP, meaning "this thread is useless without pictures" but initial topic of the thread already had pictures, so I felt a little modification was necessary.

Oh, gotcha. I'm not up on the internet lingo.

This is the only photo I have of it right now:



The decals are a little scratched, and it's in desperate need of a cleaning, but otherwise it's ****ing gorgeous!
