Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

After that it was on to a Schwinn Madison(a real, made in USA one) a paramount, then a couple Bianchi's.. I'm building up a cheap Taiwan bike(with good parts) atm, and over the winter im going to build up my Pinnarello. I'll post pics soon. Sourcing parts now. There is SO MUCH tacky, ugly "fixie" isht being peddled (haha) online these days...

I'm only assuming, but it looks like the Nashbar frame.

chip has been reborn:



bartape is some cheap origin8 stuff they had at the lbs, but its black cork with flecks of natural cork in it, unexpected matchy matchy

i think some small block 8's are in this boys future

lets see if i can keep riding this thing now.
