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)

saying hello. just picked up a fixed

so i have been lurking on these boards for a while now, and i am now a fixie owner.

the other night i traded my dear Cortina for this Bianchi, now if my new bars would come in, i could actually ride it.

just ordered some nitto riser bars, and i still need a front lever if i decide to run a brake.

campy bb, cranks, headset, front brake. formula hubs, mavic wheels, nitto stem.

the nitto b123 are for sale, but i cant post in the fs thread yet.
