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)

I'm running this bike fixed with low 46 x 20 gearing. I weigh under 140 lbs. I use this bike for urban travel for trips under 5 miles and it is not a commute bike, since it lacks fenders, which are prerequisites IMO for a commute bike.

If you're not ready to take the training wheel off, you're not ready for stunts.
