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)

Come live in California where everything is super expensive and drought is a slight problem, but at least we don't have pizza grease summers.

Any state that doesn't touch the ocean is what I call a fly over state, except Colorado, that state can stay.

I forgot how cheap NYC is to live in . Our summers smell like hot garbage, but the ladies look nice so its worth the smell and swamp-like weather.
We do have great water though, and bagels, and pizza.

My caad has been having some nasty creaking that was inconsistent. I was terrified that it might be the BB but it turns out it was just a loose crank arm.
