At first, I did.

However, I have come to accept my bike for what it is; a single-speed.

I won't go into detail about my ss history, but I do agree. There are many people that make more out of it than what it is. I know I did.

However, there are people out there racing single speeds and they're beating the pants off of many mnt bikers. Unfortunately, I am not one of them. I imagine that for those select few, the ss is not hype.
