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)

Just want to bring this onto the next page. So nice... I love a good campy buildup, and on such an incredible frame.

I had the same gruppo on my Ciocc (but with shamals instead).

thanks!!! i doubt you had the same group though. this one is a full mix of campy parts from about 1994-2010. this bike has a 10spd cassette and RD

definitely had the same crankset.

Rear derailleur for me was for sure not a 10spd though. Your frankenstein campy setup is impressive.

Tweaked the bike a bit some more. I'm really in love with it now and I'm turning into a retrogrouch. ah, friction shifters



really counting on a getting a different crank soon, 180mm!! not so sure what I will do for fixed gear in the future

a good looking very big frame is hard to do, nice. using slotted cleats is insane.

62cm is the cut off line for large frames that still look good. The wheels don't look like 26" here like they did on the 67cm Schwinn, even the Raleigh looked a little wonky.

Seeing xavier's cannondale reminded me I have one. Haven't done anything other than clipless to it in a while. I think I'm gonna paint it this summer. Also Raven in the background.
