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)

Very nice bike and a good deal imo. And yea, I cannot afford it. As a college student, it is tough to get into this sport for me, with student loans and everything going on, I am just trying to survive through it.

I was just joking around - but yeah, enjoy the ride with what you have. It makes you appreciate what you do have that much more.

I see where you purchased a single speed from walmart, i looked closely at these bikes but i weigh 285lbs didn't think they would work. Hope you enjoy riding no mater what you have.
