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)

This thread's still going? Adriano, your bikesnobbery is in high enough demand that you might consider charging for the service of disliking bikes. One buck apiece from each bike in this thread alone would pay for a few cases of beer. The Beatles said that you can't buy love, but I think hate can be marketed affordably to the masses.



There. I owe you a dollar.

Adriano, are you opposed to toe clips for aesthetic reasons, or because it's too easy to accidentally pull a foot out?

Thanks.

It's a Trek Earl. Yes, the wheelbase isn't super long but it's not an NJS bike. I love it.

Is the top tube really as thin as it looks in the pictures?

Yeah, it's pretty thin, although it is quite wide:

My Lager has a bottle opener on the seat rails. I think I prefer the top tune one though. Easier to open while riding haha.
