i think he was refering to your trying to make the basso a 3 speed.
if you did, i imagine you would opt for an internal hub like this one
the problem is, I imagine you're going to run into spacing issues with the rear dropouts.
meh.. what do I know.. ask ze german,
if anyone could make it work, it's my bet that he could.
nice bike btw.
push that curvy hotness all over RV

i love the sprung saddle on that thing. yeah, what tink said. man, i need to use more image tags.
that'd be for making it a two speed fixed gear, and is pretty complicated i think. sheldon has an article on it here:

i doubt it's worth trying, i'm just a sucker for strange bike setups. either way, enjoy!

TONIGHT.
if it's raining, meetup at home base (Warehouse, on 9th St) instead. If it's clear, meetup at sherwood.
If it's nasty, we'll drink more and ride less. If it's nice out, we'll ride more and drink a tad less.
BE THERE. 7pm, rain or shine!
