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)

There were a lot of single speeds at the 3rd Annual Bilenkly Junk Yard race! (I think some of you were there!!!) Check out this video and pass it along if you like it.

I love it. I am trying to convert my Lager into a singlespeed cyclocross like a couple bikes i saw in there. I've got the cantalever brakes and fat tires, now i need to lower my gear ratio, change out brake levers, and raise my bar height.
