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)

If it's a freewheel bike, you need two brakes.

Never needed to touch a rear brake on any of my freewheel bikes. Smart to have one I guess.

Word of advice: I've never had my seatpost backwards. Read again carefully.

Hey guys, new to the board. I'm a student at Oklahoma State University and was persuaded by a couple of my professors to get myself a road bike.

I bought a used 1970s (?) Centurion Cavaletto and started from there.

Centurion Frame/Fork, black powder coated
Eighthinch Amelia 700c wheelset
Eighthinch 160mm 46T crankset
Bontrager pedals/straps
Brooks B17 narrow
Bullhorn bars
etc.



I just got the bike done last week. The roads are still covered in ice so I'll have to wait awhile until I can take it out and get more pics.

Finally getting a new fork next month (carbon, straight blade).
