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)

They would have to be around 6'8" or taller. What do NBA players retire and start slinging packages in DenmarK?

Well it would give a comfortable high riding position, given that You have balls of steel or are really quick to dismount, me I am 6'1" and ride a very. non-ballcrunching 58cm...

Danes are rather commonly regarded as the tallest race in the world. This just helps to prove the point.

PROTEST, Danes are shifty short buggers compared to the real Viking race, the tall and strong Swede, proven every year during the Ice Hockey World championship.

I've got you all beat. Check out the attachment. 69cm! You can check out more pics at https://www.oswaldcycleworks.com/gallery3.php

The builder is Tom Oswald. I kind of know the guy. When I finish grad school, get a real job, and scrape some money together, I'm going to have him build me a bike.

As a full blooded Swede, I will have to sympathize with the pleasing characteristics of our joint heritage. My name even reflects it; Peter Anders Hedman, albeit I come in at a striking and symmetrical 6'0".

However, when in Dane-land last year I did see some giants.

Well the Viking heritage is a gruesome story of ****, plunder, mushroom eating hallucinating frenzies and uncanny resiliance to alcohol. Honestly, any of You Scandinavian heritage guys ever lost a drinking contest? itīs in the genes I tell You, and a curse, most of my friends (including me) fights an every day battle against drinking. No joke...
