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)

Didn't you just post pics of your "sweet" new bar tape here and it's also lacking bar plugs?

Single. Since that pic I have fitted an Exzentricator for perfect chain adjustment and a 105 chainset.

Yeah I gonna say it's always good to have a tensioner when running SS imo. I've always wanted to a convert a modern road bike to fixed but that'd be beyond dangerous with the dropouts

If you're able to find the 'magic gear' it can work well. There is also the option of a eccentric hub as well.

There are solutions to the chain tension problem, one of which being the ENO hub.

That is a clean looking SC. I had a 300 a while ago, then I got a GS400.

Anymore pictures of the car?
