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 barely ride the HED3, I mounted the new Rando to see if 28Cs would clear my Wound Up on what is my spare wheel. (It does with 2mm to go). I haven't ridden the Rando yet, it's going on the rear.

Not everyones jam, but theyre wat Ive got...

Cannondale Track

New wheelset on em.
Still need to wrap up my drops and throw em on here.

Motobecane Messenger

Stripped the paint.
These bars are gonna go onto the Cannondale. Gonna get some new risers and throw it on here. Its a beater bike, for wen I have to run errands and pick up diapers. White Origin grips or Red Ourys?
This wheelset was on the Cannondale, gonna be put onto the other bike.

Garneau Pursuit 9.0

Wheels are goin to the beater.
Not sure how Im feelin about the stem. Super short and looks like its an integrated stem...
Obviously, still need a chain, which Im going to buy tmrw morning. Semi "gold" KMC.

Still some work to be done, but Im satisfied for now...

But the short stem matches the frames color soo well :\

Pretty much.

Cannondale is a 57
Motobecane is a 58
Garneau is a... 56 or 57? I totally forgot. I know the seat tube is a 57.

They all fit, except the Motobecane feels a lot shorter (toptube,) compared to the Cannondale. Which is kinda odd, I think.

Believe it or not, both those rims are machined. So, no it doesn't ruin the surface. Its really hard to tell the difference between high polished aluminum and a machined sidewall.

Updated pic of the Alien.


The cross bike in road mode.


For the nay-sayers who want to know where the dirt is...


The Alien mainly sees city riding/commuting/alleycats/traffic now that I have some gears and brakes to do long stuff on. The CX bike sees mud, long miles, extended climbs, 45mph descents and lots of suffering.
