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)

Nope, they run good so far, pretty light as well

Looks like you've got mad clearance available on the back wheel, always nice to have options! What's up with the cross lever but no tape on the flats? Seems a bit backwards how that is all set up.

I don't care one way or another, but if this thread was started today it would get flamed and closed. Or just closed, depending on who got here first. Just sayin.

Thats a nice bike. Looks good.

If mine, I would have done a full tape with hoods for the extra hand position.

Looks good.

It was originally 27 in wheels so yeah, tons of room. As far as tape goes, i haven't got around to purchasing any and had these grips laying around
