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)

Does a "vomit themed" bike count?

What the hell is a suicide team anyway? Do they all wear purple nikes, drink kool aid and think when they die they'll end up on an asteroid?
Also, dude's running a double chainring. hurr durrrr

I'm guessing that "suicide team" means a team of jackasses with big chain rings that drive with their bikes in their car up to the top of a hill and then bomb down them, while ignoring traffic signals, the very definition of jackass.

If it's for a suicide team then I guess the lights are jackass. The bars are rad though. I wanna die on Drop-Ins with clip-on aero bars.

F'real, lol. People can't seem to budget their builds. Leader frame, Brooks saddle, sw33t d33p wheels, old road double. Wtf? I'm guilty of running OpenPro's on a conversion in a past life, but gee wiz Batman. Priorities.

i noticed that but what was more concerned about this:
plus the track frame is much lighter
#1. much lighter than what?
#2. the weight they think they saved is irrelevant in relation to the heavy parts used to finish it.

Yeah. After further inspection, the kid's facebook leads me to believe somebody took a wee in his mom's gene pool. Kid is straight-up ********.
