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)

Bum Bars

I'd ride a Colnago with bum bars no coaster brake.

I'm all for conversions, but **** I gotta agree with evanyc. I think that Colnago conversion is straight up a shame. Even if its not a "nice" colnago, outfit it with Campy Chorus and have a sweet road bike.

Someone please braze a derailleur hanger onto a "not so nice" Colnago Pista, drill it for brakes, and turn it into a road bike so we can hear you guys crying bloody murder.

edit: damn, late to the party again.

translating internet to real life is hard with all these screen name **** and whatnot.

An adjustable stem makes riding my fixed gear bike so much more comfortable. I'm surprised I don't see more of them on bikes posted here.

We are slaves to fashion. What is this "comfort" you speak of?

but then i realize that poor people are hella lazy and stupid.
ok, i know i am way late to this, but i have to say it

i love iro's and i have no idea why everyone who has one builds it up to be absolutely hideous. never mind how nice your components are, i'm talking purely about aesthetics.

and i am pumped because HERE IS A DUDE WHO GETS IT! pretty much the only iro someone has posted in recent memory that wasn't gross.
