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)

Please make him wear a helmet at least! I would hate to come here and read a story about your friend crashing and ruining his GT or his cranium. Does he just ted shred his back wheel to stop?

If he does crash and smash his cranium, what size is the GT frame? I would liketo have one of those 54-55cm.

It's a Dia Compe lever and a rather beautiful Italian made Universal model 77 brake.

see that's nice. why post the same bike all the time when you got a fine bike like this?
