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)

Not going to lie, I've been on a ride with the kind that clips on to glasses but I found it somewhat distracting.

wait...what did i buy? for the sputnik? not much lately. plush tires (25c open corsa w/latex tubes), and a cheap used brake (silver campy chorus skeleton, which rebuilt very nicely)...but that was months ago.
