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)

I'm pretty sure he'll ship. Not a lot of fixer gear heads up here, most of his buisness is mail-order / word of mouth. Kind of a weird setup, guy has all kinds of fixed gear stuff plus loads of unique road and MTB bikes hanging in the shop. Piles and piles of parts and stuff. Real old school kind of place.

Seems his main bread and butter is doing auto wheel alignments and stuff.

I've got to go that way next week to take the Taco in to the dealer for it's scheduled maintenance (its been sitting in the driveway for a month, I hate to break the trend and actually drive).

I'll stop in and get the latest on his offerings. He also had CXP 21 & 22 with DA for $199/pair.

Ask him about CPX 33's, and HF DuraAce or an equally good hub (Like a sz promax, anything sealed) 32 or 36 spoke if you can. Dig it, can you post an email addy for him?

I'll double check the CXP availability. I know he had Dura Ace High Flange hub sets for about $165. He also had some other built up wheels with various hubs, but I can't recall which/what right now. He'd most likely lace up whatever he's got handy

I'll get his latest cut sheet offering and post the goods. I'll get his email address also.

I agree. I have seen these for way less. Though, that frame is smooth.
