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)

Lots of pron bikes, plus a teammate and two good friends in the top 3.

And disks. But all porn is subjective.

I feel like Shimano is in a race with itself to design the ugliest cranks. It's clearly winning.

Yes definitely. I just need a chainring and they'll be going back on the bike. I'm saving the biopace rings they were mated to for a trail cruiser I'm hoping to build.

I also like the look of the gumwall tires on black rims. thats a pretty classy combo.

Up until 9000 it wasn't that bad IMO.... I don't mind the 7900 cranks. Couldn't get worse than campy's EPS TT slab cake.

I thought porn was supposed to make it longer. That banking makes me shrink. Hats off to you for riding it!
