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)

This thread sucks.

Sorry, but if I was running biga** wheels and tires and doing sick jumps off curbs I'd want brakes.

35 good-looking ones? I can see how that would get in the way of saving for a bike.
