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)

Probably not. I think the Pake decals are under the clear coat.

But Superb would probably sell you a custom French 75 made by Pake just for them to sell to you. Exclusively.

Hell yeah.


Pake French 75? nah, sh*t's custom. It's a Superb English Soixante-Dix Cinq. Didn't you see how much I paid for it?

Right. And the geometry and general design will not resemble the French 75 in any way except that one way but we won't mention that.

It will also not come in the exact same colors.

I emailed pake to find out if they will ever revise the French 75 for dropout plates on both sides and I got this.....

Hi,


I don't think that will ever happen. That would cause the wheel to slide around in the dropout.

Hello,


I was wondering if Pake will ever end up making the French 75 with dropout plates on both sides?



Thanks!

I guess every other manufacturer of aluminum track frames doesn't know what they're doing.

A lot of you guys have Leaders in your sigs (and yet post often in this thread). Is Leader related? Their aluminum frames have a cool look to them.

Leader and Soma/Pake are in no way related.

FWIW my Leader has single sided dropouts and even after almost 2 years they look perfectly fine. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I think the whole double sided dropouts thing is overblown.
