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)

I actually wanted the raw one, but they were out of stock so I ordered the blue one. I wouldn't trade it back for a raw one now if I was given the choice.

You're so creative. I'm flattered you would tear yourself away from purchasing every bike produced in 2013 to comment on my tattoos.

right then, moving on.

wore my Home Depot sunglasses today



rode to...Home Depot to pick up some washers the LBS didn't have. Cool thing about them is they let you bring your bike and/or dog into the store.

I was picking up some washers for a set of brake levers I wanted to swap in so I hadn't wrapped the bars yet.
