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)

Things I learned today

1. You can mix a bunch of burnt umber with a bit of pthalo blue and get a killer orange color.
2. I spend around $40 on coffee a week. I was kind of shocked by this.
3. Fischer, Max is a complete and total idiot ******.
4. Trying to help a deaf lady that also doesn't understand English is freaking impossible.

Wow-- that took a lot of guts...and I genuinely respect anyone who has the courage to take responsibility for their behavior. That was a really classy move. (No sarcasm.)

I'm getting in on this late, but years ago, we referred to the Dura Ace 7600 hubs as "flip-flop," because they had track threading on both sides, and as far as I know, they were the ONLY flip-flop hubs at the time. Trying to make the argument that "flip-flop" means, by necessity, "fixed/free," is just plain wrong.
