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)

She's riding a trainer. The rear wheel Kenda is a blur while the front is stationary.

The very rare Campagnolo Hi-Lo FRONT hub.
(The hi lo front hub was originally designed for the velodrome. You just had to

That bike is seriously beautiful. I'd love to ride the ***** out of it, but would also be scared to get a speck of dirt on it.

personally I think the photo itself qualifies the picture as Bike Porn. That is an excellent shot. Plus I think the Capo is just a good looking track bike.
But anyway, what toe straps are those on the first picture?
