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)

But why would you put Speedplays on a track bike? Also, can you tell me where to get an endless source of money like yours?

Ref the speed plays, it's what I had on hand and I like them. Ref the funds, spend 22 years in the Army and deploy all over the world. You'd be surprised how much you can make.
