Finally got the SS finished, and holy s***!!! that thing is fun. I have it geared really low for easy stop and go riding and sprinting between classes. I love this bike, and ive only ridden it about a mile. I don't understand why anyone wouldn't want to ride one of these. The "hill" on campus wasn't too hard, but its only a small grade/short run. I absolutely love this thing!! God bless singlespeeds!!!
