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)

Unfortunately I'm not sure who the maker is. There's no label on it. I bought it at a random shop here in the city near my office like 3 years ago. I need to go back there and check if they have any more. As for the frame, no I didn't paint it and yes that is electrical tape. I would totally just paint it if it wasn't for the fact that I may want to resell the frame one day. In the meantime electrical tape is best friend...

I can't really read that decal on the DT but it looks like a Fetish frame to me. I've always wondered about those...

They look like IRO cranks to me, but i could be wrong. If not, shame on me, since there are IRO cranks on my peugeot that my girl now rides.

Thanks man! They're a set of Andel cranks that I got from Ben's Cycle. They actually come black and a little silver but I spray painted them matte black just to go with the rest of the bike...

I know right?! Kinda bothers me too but it's new and will be black and greasy soon enough. Otherwise I would have painted it by now, hehe...
