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)

Am I wrong?

He's got a feedback rating of 2: one from chicabike (aka BikesDirect - where he bought the Dawes) and one from Bell's (where he most likely got the wheelset).

Dude I fell for it once and I'm on a Mac.

I've also fallen for the one with the little fly that crawls around.
