Built a single speed out of a Fuji Del Rey about 3 years ago. Then went for a ride w/a friend who had a Salsa Casserol fixed. He let me ride it around the parking lot. That was it. Went home after the ride and ordered a 100.00 set of fg wheels and have been riding it ever since. About 1.5 years. Rarely ride any other bike these days. Library, post office, light grocery shopping and commuting. My gearing is 48x16. My age is 58. No knee problems, so far. Have been posting here on this sub-forum for months and never noticed this sticky. Glad its here.

As a commuter I was thinking one getting one of the SA 3 sp fixed and building a bike around it. There's one 18% grade maybe pullable @ 67%...as it is I've got to do switchbacks.

Man, I wish their was a track around here in the Greater Nashville area. I'd love to do masters team cycling.
