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)

perhaps the question you should be asking yourself is: "why am I not buying enough 12 packs?"
also, +1 for any bike without mustache bars

Post pics when they're done, looks like they're gonna be sick. Always liked the SL42's and the rest of H plus son product line

It's a ****ty photo and the bar angle is off, but Bernard is finished. Full specs on pedalroom as always.

Believe me I'd love to, but I don't have the time at the moment and I've never ridden banking that steep

Preliminary setup of the new Colossi Mondial. First thing will be to cut the fork, then building it up for rando after I've had a little fun while it's stripped down.

Boom! Looks amazing, man! I'm really digging mine. I have the archetypes and the 75 cranks, as well. Enjoy it!

Not bad, I really dig the modest toned down colors. Looks good in maroon.

Thanks, I had to look really hard for a vintage 1 inch salsa, and I couldn't end up finding the degree I wanted but I didn't care. I'm gonna find a way to flip the logos.

Also, I have a better (albeit still ****ty) pic, I need to take on during the day. Seatpost looks high but I'm still dialing in my position

Looks great! What handle bars are those? They look nice, but probably too much reach and too deep of drops for me...

Nitto B132. They're relatively shallow actually, sweeping up and flaring out a bit.

Thanks. I'm very happy with it. It's all stock except for the bell, and it's a fun ride.

Even though the shipping was expensive, it's still cheaper than some other bikes with comparable tubing.
