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)

Maybe we can deal on the wheelset if you change your mind.

Fair enough, but I'm sure you understand in this case.

Looking through the entire thread page by page. Haven't pulled the trigger on the Hour yet but this bike sealed the deal for me. Can anyone tell what's stock and what isn't? If it's not stock, then what are the replacement parts?

Everything except for the handlebars are stock.

Thanks. I thought most of it was stock. Another question. I opened up the pictures of the Windsor Hour and the Windsor Hour Plus on BD and noticed the top tube is different and the geometry is different. Is this common knowledge? I almost bought the Hour Plus thinking it was the same bike (I wanted black). Not the same bike with different brakes. Totally different bike.

I noticed The Hour Plus comes with a little chain guard thing. Are these available elsewhere? I think I might enjoy one.

My beloved Peloton:





I completed the Strava BMC 79mi Challenge on this a few weeks ago (with bullhorns), but I've since picked up a road bike for longer rides, since doing long distances in the mountains on fixed was starting to affect my knees (one of which is already ruined from a childhood injury).

Sharp bike for sure.

(was expecting Schwinn Peloton upon reading iSpy text, though.)

Mystery frame and dog's breakfast parts mix, but it rides nice.

People have really been stepping up their game lately. Has the Premium Rush effect finally subsided?

I know you probably have a whole Thompson thing going on with the stem/seatpost, but this Cinelli might look even betterer with one of these Velo-Orange tall stack stems...:

He doesn't have a Thomson on his Gazzetta. He has a VO stem.

Also, the Tall Stack stem only is only available with a 31.8 clamp. Shimming from 26 to 31.8 sucks.

VO tall stack stem ends up looking really weird with steep head tube angles too. I had one on my RG and HATED it.

Ah. Didn't know h'bar wasn't 31.8. Derp. Shimming does indeed suck.

As you were. Nice bike!
