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)

My first fixed gear and loving it for running around town. Put MKC Streams on and took off the cages tonight. Took off the 700x23 and replaced with 28 Gatorskins for town riding.

Yes they did. *sigh* But it had been hanging out at $800, then $700 in the shop for way too long...

This is SOP in the C-Store business. The sign on the canopy or pump doesn't tell you where the gas in the UST came from.

To be fair, he did say "NYC metro area", not "NYC" or "NYC area". This is a real thing and extends beyond the five boroughs.

At least I got you to like one of my instagram photos.
