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 just crosschained in that picture...the setup is fine (though I do agree that it looks a little odd). It shifts pretty well for mid-range Campy.

No campy, 9 speed Dura Ace though. Still shifts way smoother and faster than my Apex equipped bike.

Back to the topic.... this is a bit subtle, but it is, in fact, a geared bike.

Looks like a single speed,


But actually has two speeds (kick-shifted IGH):


A fun little ride
