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)

Thanks and Thanks!

This bike has changed everything...including non-bike things.

I wish I had made the switch to fixed a long time ago!

I wish it was mine too, that way it would still be in that underrated stock FTP livery.

At this rate, there's going to be no such thing as a stock FTP around these parts....
Let's see we have a pastel-ish purple one, a pink-white fade newshiki, and this one. Who's next?

Bike is nice, ppl just give him **** cause they know he'll ride it around the block. Take some pics. Talk about keeping up with cat 1's. Then sell/trade it for another in two months.

Nice ride. I had a similar setup (Langster & Mavic ellipse) until it got stolen

Bought the Mavics again but I removed the stickers now Even though I think it looks sicker w/ them but it's not as screamy w/o them

how do you like the ride? is the geometry aggressive enough for it to be a serious down in the drops type of ride?

Finally changed the bars, stem, and seatpost on the Orbit, but the sun came out and made it difficult to get a good photo. Awesome 1980s paint job refuses to cooperate with the camera .
