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)

Removed the spacers from the other bike, tensioned with the headset cap, tightened stem, removed and replaced.

Like I said, pretty broke. I should have tax returns by now, but one of my jobs got my soc wrong, so I had to file for an extension and ****.

Thanks man, preciate that


well, new look. Just test new handlebar-set, Nitto B123AA 380mm NJS + Nitto Pearl 100mm NJS





but unfortunately, I found myself a bit uncomfortable using this setup so maybe it'll be back with RB002 + Dynamic8

Thanks Scrod, means a lot. And Mumonkan, I wanna see it when you do it; I can't believe I didn't take a drive side shot. I must've been delirious.

Me likey. I'll be riding 48/19 (68 gear inches) this summer. Rode 46/22 (56.5) this winter, and loved it.

edit: sweet bike btw
