same. yeahhh ****.. padding my own sadle would be hard.
might just get that sturmey archer s3x 3-speed fixed gear hub and run just one downtube shifter... seems good.
i used to skateboard pretty heavy and i ride a 52/19 brakeless and my knees are sad.
i think its not from spinning constantly and not being able to coast, its probably from stopping by resisting the cranks or skidding, and by mashing up hills
i just want brakes and more than one gear, hahah
track stands are sweet though
by the way i ride my bike to work, to the bar, to friends houses, parties, it gets a lot of usage
used to just ride 1 and 3 speeds. i started riding fixed early this year, it was still really cold.
