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)

Sigh...another Bianchi with deep V's and a jacked up Brooks. At least you don't have those goofy riser bars. A for effort. Go ride it!

Now that I got that off my chest, how much did the bike cost?
And now that you got that off your chest, we all know how little taste you have to compare those two chairs. Next you'll say the 670 is a piece of ****.

i've seen both bandana and banana in this thread. and i've mistaken them a few times. and i realized it's funnier that way, and i'm now going to re-read this thread substituting bandana for banana and vice versa.
