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)

It's an American Flyer, selling for same price as retail. I've seen the chrome version close up and it looked alright. I have no idea if they're cro-mo or hi-ten though...

Here's a link:

Whoa...I didn't even notice that stupid fork on the one I saw. It was only a quick look at some bike shop I popped into in CA. I'm assuming it's hi-ten and it sucks for $330.

Maybe the $100 bill sticker is there to remind you how much you should pay for it...
