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)

Unlike the SRAM type or clip-type masterlinks, I've heard verified stories of the screw-type link coming open while riding. They're super strong, but people forget that they have to constantly check to make sure that ALL screws and bolts on their bikes are tight frequently. Plus this one is constantly being forced to rotate.

nah, optical illusion. theres a lycra seat cover over it, and a thin layer of padding between the cover and the saddle. the seat covers seam its protruding to the left coupled with the layer of padding sorta bunching on the left side making it look like my saddle is on the crook. its perfectly straight.

I'd like to think in addition to protecting the tt from the rack, it muffles the severely loud red paint just a tad and hides the fact that it's an s-works, at least to the casual observer.

Alpenrose being my home track, everything else looks extremely shallow to me... more like a running track than anything else.

yeah, kissena is shallow. there's enough bank to play with, but it's nothing to put your Special Goggles on about.

Oh, jealousy!

Actually, all those amps hiding in the background of the pics are quite funny, someone just had an old Harmony amp in a pic few pages back somewhere here. My Laney Klipp 60W resides at the rehearsal space, though.
