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)

I haven't built the front wheel yet, so I borrowed the front off of my road bike so that I could FINALLY take this project for a ride.

Leader frame came in today. Stripped my Sputnik. I'll need a new fork, bottom bracket, and crank arms to get my Sputnik running again. Happy with the switch though!

He only rides it on the street, if he even rides it at all. It's ok, it's just china carbon.

The setback is on account of him being 4 feet tall.
