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)

at the end of the day those that want the porsche will probably have the disposable income to buy it. those that want the maserati will most likely to set it as their background and dream about it.

That's my current whip, man. Different wheels, cranks and bars now though.

There's nothing wrong with that MASH either, unless not wanting your back to get wet in the rain is considered some sort of jackass move now.

Back on track:

The bar angle was a touchy subject for a lot of people. Those Deda CronoNeros needed to be tipped down just a touch to make the flat, angled tops comfortable, otherwise my wrists would be bent just a wee bit too much.

on that softride that scrod posted, I actually know someone who rides one they found in a tree we turned into a single speed. The original owner tossed it, and lost a lot of the cable fittings.

I dont think I ever posted the "drag wagon"

Someone had to post one of these sooner or later!


I fully expect the stem to be too short! However, the seat color does match the bar . . . ummm . . . rubber grips . . . and it comes stock with a very unique (and large) spoke card!
