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 ever happened to the batty's?

I hope I didn't miss the winners! (although I was not even in the running, so I don't even know why I care )

this was the running as of 10-26, when it pretty much died:
Not sure if anyone else agrees, but here is what I gather so far:

Wow, WK nominated me for lightweight. No real surprise there, even though he hacked my name completely (Trekie 420) and ignored the fact that in the 2 1/2 months of summer, I put in over 1000 miles on my singlespeed road bike, plus the mountain biking on the weekends...but, hey, whos counting?

I'm 220 pounds and got called a lightweight. Moral of the story? the Batty's are completely unscientific
