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)

Looks great nonetheless! Although if I were to have a macaframa frame I would get mirror polished formation face rims instead.

lol no crips but we have different gangs that claim red and blue. The red wheels I already had from a previous build so I used them. The chub wheels i'm gonna build are gonna be silver hubs and spokes with black nipples and rims.

You mean like the silver thomson on the shelf behind the bike? When I get my chainring on it and the wheels I want the black stem will make more sense. I'm trying to equally distribute the black and silver. Right now the red kinda overpowers everything though. lol

When I move to SF this summer, will you (royal you, any Bay area rider) ride with me? I'd love to have people show me around.
