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)

A by default because I'm not sure of the logical posibility of a fixed gear that has more than one gear. Of course, you can say flip flop hub, etc. But.

Well, yeah. Just seems to be some difference between fixed and single speed. Mostly off road though.

I'm going. In the odd case that I actually win anything; proceeds will go to the poorest of the group or the purchase of adult beverages for those who consume those things.

deutschland is good, but I'm coming home soon. Hey, do you want to buy a track bike? I have an Italian Viner that I'm selling, because I just bought another Eddy Merckx. It's your size, 56cm.

Everything on it is going minus the crankset. I'm building up a set of Pauls on Deep V's, and putting a silver seatpost, and a new bar/stem

the last two velodrome swap meets I didn't see any track stuff at all. It was kind of disappointing. I know where you can get a nice set of track wheels though, Suntour Superbe pro laced to campy omega clinchers.

I think I'm staying out of the courier business. I really want to train for some road races, and to do that I can't really work as a courier.
