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)

It's yet unfinished, but i'm excited. My upcoming Jonnycycles. I had him put ( soon to be polished)stainless steel inserts thru the top tube for style. Hope it doesn't whistle too loudly when riding

I hope it does. It'll be a reminder of awesome.

Really, that's a super-sweet idea.

Ooooooooh sh*t I'm in love. Ægis bikes are gorgeous, and if you can get the auxilliary dropouts (I'm sure you can), it's going to be a hot hot hot bike.

Do you feel a difference in the way the bike handles relative to bikes with typically positioned stays? (Anyhow, rad bike!)
i rode an avalanche before retiring it- my understanding is this: gt used the triple triangle idea to make their frames stiffer/stronger/different- the more the better- kinda reminescent of the truss idea

Aegis' folks are super, super nice. They truly make some insanely fine (and ludicrously stiff) bikes. Good score!
