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)

Having difficulty working because my new bike is sitting in my cube and I can't stop looking at it.

Oh I rode it here as a shake down. Here is a pic. Sorry for the weird angle, small cube.



Yes I still need to wrap the bars.

Ugh my fuji is seriously falling apart. the creaking/clanking noise drives me nuts but i dont have the money to take it in to get diagnosed or fixed. it's either the hub on my front wheel (my initial suspicion, and it went away when a friend regreased/repacked the bearings but after the next rain ride it got clanky again) or my headset/fork or something wrong with my BB that's resonating up through the frame making it feel like it's coming from the front end.

Started classes today. Chem professor is an overly charismatic buffoon apparently trying to run a psychology/philosophy class. I think we will butt heads a bit this semester...

Also, I forgot the exit ramp gets backed up onto I-75 so badly at the beginning of the semester. The road was still wet from last night's rain and I crested a hill only to see two lanes of gridlocked traffic. Didn't want to lock up the rear wheel on the moto so I had to split the lane. I nearly crapped myself. Talked to a classmate later who said he had the same problem and almost wrecked when he locked up his motorcycle's rear wheel. Time to rebuild the Long Haul Trucker so I can bike to school again.
