I'm James. Born in SF, raised in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, recently moved back to the states to find work. Found work in an ad agency in NJ and commute by car to and from work from Long Pond, PA. Haven't seen any fixed riders in Long Pond, let alone any roadies. Lots of mountain bikers though. And deer and black bears and wild turkeys! I ride a converted 49cm 80s Miele road bike with 27" wheels and a black to yellow original fade, chopped and flipped drops, and a front brake. Runnning a 44x14 gear. Thinking of powdercoating or DIYing it a nice orange soon. I also ride a 14" SS Kona LavaDome with rigid fork and huge Nokian Gazzalodi JR DH tire up front. She's geared at 32x16. I've got lots of other bikes in various states of (dis)repair from 2 54cm road bikes (80s Bianchi and early 90s Miyata) several mountain bike frames, a 100th Anniversary edition Schwinn cruiser frame and a early 70s Raleigh Chopper with Sturmy Archer 3 speed internal hub (which I may plan on selling as is). I'm also happily married with 4 boys ranging in age from 2 to 9. They've got singlespeeds too! And my 2 year old will be getting a fixed gear tricycle soon. My wife doesn't understand my obsession with bikes . Thank God she lets me watch the TdF!!!
