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)

Picked up another one of these from a sale at JensonUSA. I have one on my Felt and I love it in combo with the Specialized Zee cage which is side entry. Keeps the bottle in place nicely, even over rough railroad tracks.



I wasted money on the $10 Minoura mount, what a pos.

Had the LBS order me a helmet today. Of course I chose the most obnoxious color.

It's not really tight. I just get a kick out of Austin Powers references.

I have the same color specialized echelon.
Obnoxious colors get attention, especially from drivers.

Have you used the double version? my new frame is sans bottle cage mounts.

I'm torn between the mini wing and turbo wing variants.

I have only tried the single so far. Thought about a double but it would be overkill for me.

I'm balling out my bike right now, well sort of. Just ordered:

Thomson X2 stem
Cheap risers
Yoshida Track Champ Grips
H Plus Son Archetypes in black 32H
All-City New Sheriffs hub pair
EAI Cog
Dura Ace Lockring

I will likely be swapping my Steamroller out for a Super Pista when I have extra cash for a pair of Omniums. I can have nice and ****ty weather bikes, it'll be perfect!

Same thing I always do with 50 dollar frames.

Dump thousands of dollars into them.

1990 Davis Phinney frame, 57 cm. Got it for practically nothing. Had some rust issues but it's just cosmetic so I'm thinking team 7-11 replica!
