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)

What bike do you have it on, and what was the width of your romin? I've always wanted to try brooks, but the Romin is comfortable enough for me to not try anything else, and brooks looks super wide.

Nothing for my bike specifically but I bought some gear to help with riding in the winter (long tights, long sleeve performance wicking shirts, etc).

For my upcoming CAAmuter


shop worn+take offs+deadstock = great deal
Never hurts to shop around and ask. Who knew the boxes and manuals were worth so much?
