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)

While it's not totally a professional solution (and I don't really like how it looks in this case), the sticky residue is incredibly easy to remove so it's really a moot point.

I ordered a Tektro brakekit. It should be here tomorrow. Do you think it is best to have both a brake and clips or will a front brake only be fine?

I definitely think it is best to have clips as well.

nothing against the saddle, but ones like b-17's and selle anatomica just look really out of place on smaller bikes

Thanks. It looks better in person. The orange is sort of fishy looking, meaning like salmon.

oh yeah, i loved my b-17.

my lady has the same thing going on with her track bike. it's a 46cm vivalo and any saddle on it looks a bit whacky. she ended up with a specialized Jet in a 143.

Thanks man, I was kinda aiming for that but I didn't think I'd be able to pull it off. The seat and the bars add with that haha.
