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)

what do you guys think about these rattle-can conversions?

in all seriousness, is this guy colorblind? the majority of people don't want hazard orange on their bike. and what's with using the ugliest stems on planet earth? that red/black bike is alright though (aesthetically speaking).

But enough people do that they will buy his bikes. And there's your market.

This guy infuriates me for some reason. Every single bike is ****ing ugly as sin. No sort of color scheme or plan. Also whats up with some bikes having a rear brake?? He clearly knows to put front brakes on some, but why just rear brakes on others? And does he just throw whatever color combo he can onto a bike? Neon orange? Orange seatpost and brown saddle? These are by FAR the ugliest bikes I have ever seen. Looks like they have the cheapest components
