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)

Today I rode my Surly after spending the last few days on the Paramount. It feels like an old man bike in comparison maybe I should lower the handle bar.

Story of my venge.

Went in looking to get a s-works tarmac and left with an order for above frameset instead because it there was a introductory promotion only where I could get the newest for "a couple lattes more".
No regrets. The only bad part is now I want the special Peter Sagan edition as well as the Cavendish one. #firstadoptersfee

Those bikes look crazy! It looks like Peter still has normal bars, but the bars on Cav's are nuts. I totally dig the hidden wire look, not so sure about the wavy bars tho.

I guess you need to buy both, figure out which one you like the most, and sell the other one to pay the retainer fee for the divorce lawyer.

I see lots of "flat" snakes on bike rides. Saw a flat coral or king snake (can't remember the rhyme as to which one can kill you) today. A bit further down the road I saw another "flat snake" which I rode past only to realize the copperhead was not the least bit "flat" and very "fit"!

^ Coral snakes are the ones to avoid, black bands are wider. I don't know any rhyme but I remember being into snakes as a kid.

Raced another road crit the other day. Finished second. Kind of bummed because I was only worried about one person possibly beating me and that person beat me.
