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)

Never minder the h-word cliche about PBR: I get **** from my co-workers for drinking it cause they think its a POS beer - to which I always say: "If I drink it, get drunk then its an Awesome beer, keep your $9 Delirium Tremens you POS!" And besides, how else can I afford Phil Wood everything? ; )

If you're paying $9 for Delirium Tremens you're getting ripped off.

That's about how much a six pack of it costs around here. I'd still rather drink a High Life any day.

My go-to dinner if I can't think of anything is a burrito.

Burritos sound good... I ended up having a burger and some mac and cheese.

OP, first off, I admire your tenacity in sticking around through all of that. Most would've said "**** this forum" by now. Second, if you haven't gathered yet that no one here knows the answer to your question, I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with you.

In all honesty, any short reach (39-49mm) brake will be nearly as good as a Kilo TT - but not even comparable to chorizo con papas.

You missed out your opinion on hipsters and what beer you drink
