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)

Anywho, I'm wondering, if anyone know what the frame style is, and if anyone here rides one. I've got about 3 billion questions on them.
HI William!

This is actually a 3Rensho pursuit bike. I believe you can purchase one of these at Yellow Jersey (www.yellowjersey.org) in Madision, WI. They're probably one of the very few in the country who has this bike.

Holy cow!! Look at the gearing!
This is one fast bike.... (going downhill, not up, obviously). The front ring looks like as big as it can get and the rear one is small too...

Hi Luis, that's where I got the picture from. What I was attempting to do, and got done, was discover who made the curvy frames and any info about them. Pretty neat bikes, and it's something I'd like to pick up one day. I'm keeping my eye out.

The more extreme TT frames can be seriously strenuous for the back, wrists and neck....try before you buy?

Rode this one for 30 miles without any back pain. I'm in pretty deplorable shape, too. I agree, though. Extremely "aero" frames could be hell on the back.
