I'm not really sure what I ride-- my ocr3 is a medium compact road, I'm 5'9" tall with something like a 30-31 inch inseam.

Thanks for the info on the ebay, I have pissed away a ton of money on my bike experience, the giant was a mistake. Seems like the only way I can learn anything is to spend a buttload of money only to find out if I like something or not. I like the simplicity of single speed-- fits me and my mechanical aptitutude and I want to be able to take care of my own bike. I ride all the time, everywhere, my bikes are my car. You would think I would know more about them but I really don't know ****.

As for your bike, or anyone else that would hook a brutha up-- can you tell I'm terminally white? Yeah, I might be interested in purchasing one of the extra bikes some of you guys seem to have too many of. Make your wife happy, get to sleep somewhere besides the couch. Heh.

I was thinking about picking up a Van Dessel straight up, they look pretty bullet proof, and the coaster brake would be OK. On the other hand, I like what I have seen with the singlespeed and fixed might be better.

And if we are in the mood for some swapping, i have that giant ocr 3, also have some of the parts that came with it, the sti brake shifter combo, old handlebar, and the rear sora derailer. Not to mention the singleator.

If any of the stuff I'm saying makes you thing I'm a dumbass or a newb this won't be anything I haven't called myself already.
