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 (v2):

The original thread is getting quite large. Let's start fresh, shall we?

Today I: am getting excited for the official launch party of my cycling club that I co-founded. We have socks, caps, and kit on the way. Fun! Also, happy Friday, y'all!

The end of an era.


Today I'm building up my buddies wheels. I might just cut ties with him and keep them.

I'm pretty stoked for me weekend, new bike day and a bunch of riding on the new bike.

I'd be more concerned with the dodging Cicada's if the reports I've seen are accurate. They're not going to be a problem here, M*******s DDT bombed them out of existence back in the '60's. The only population left is way out on Cape Cod.





Today I was slightly intrigued with this bike, I'm over it at that price. Plus, I'm willing to bet it weighs 50lbs.

It would be an interesting grocery getter though.

Today I decided to get another frame to throw all my spare parts on, so I'll have two bikes. Having trouble finding a frame though. Need one with a 1" headtube for the fork and headset I already have. Anyone know of anything I can buy new, or would I just have to keep an eye on ebay?

If this don't make page 1 I'm gonna delete it.

That's all, I didn't really do anything today. Planted two elephant ears for Cheryl and rode some.

I love unemployment.

Weerides are awesome! My little ankle bitters loved riding in those.

I'm always disappointed with the Kimchi I can get around here. I've had it in Seoul and it's a whole different experience there.

Not just Today, but I've been favoring my geared bikes a lot more this year. Hope it's just a phase.

I saw the old thread was locked in my control panel and was afraid to see what happened in the thread. Glad it was just getting too big and not someone getting out of hand.

Today I want this work day to end. It's beautiful outside.
