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)

westyman very cool bike, hope i could get a real track one to... did you have prob with the wienman rims? or more the rear hub with the track cog side? because on mine there's only the 11 and 12 cog that i can use, the 14 almost ruined the thread... 2 strokes and the threads slipped...

don't listen to them, vanagon/west are the way to go!!

I went to VW/Audi school and even VW thinks the waterboxers are pure ****. Theyre basically embarrased that they exist.
The diesel rule all. I have one with over 300k miles on it :thumbsup:

I would agree with this, but add Shamals to the list. I think they're the heir to the Atlanta, though.

Turned out well! Going to go with a black Brooks saddle when I get some more dough, unless I find a neon colored one to match. Any suggestions on finding some neon bar tape? I can't seem to find the right colors.

you think a 2.1 wasserboxers bad try a 1.9! haha. my vans a 1984 vanagon westfalia; fridge, two burner stove and storage everywhere! It can sleep two on bottom bed comfortably and two on top if they are short but if not you nust sleep side ways. Took her up to humboldt a year ago took the 101 it was freaking awsome. I love westy!

and the wheels on the bike are cheap but hold up quite well.

Looks like Soma double-gate toe clips, and it's a custom frame.
