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've owned a couple of Rock Lobsters which has had the most beautiful fillets. I wish I had pics of them, they were beautiful & solid bikes. You don't see fillets very often but I sense there is a comeback like lugs did.

Don Walker's bikes are nothing short of amazing, but I just wish he'd find a new font for his frames.

Not custom to me, but still my frame:





It's also a nice thing to chat with the guy that made your frame at a potluck now and again.
