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)

Bit of chain slack. Not the best backdrop. I know I've been talking about this bolt build for a while now - finally got around to completing it. Don't want to make the mistake of not documenting this particular fixed gear bike (unlike my beloved Cannondale and IRO which only live on in my memories). I'm quite happy with the way it turned out.

I'm just glad the attack on my wallet is over, and the bike is complete. Time to ride it into the ground

Thanks ddeadserious. I was questioning whether or not the hoods/drops would look good on this frame, but it doesn't look too bad in all black. They're extremely comfortable too. Let me know how you like them if you do go that route.

heh I've had my hoods sitting in a box for over a month now. Maybe Gigantor has convinced me to throw them on. my hesistation seems to be that it seems like I should just own a ss~road bike, because my track bike is no longer a track bike with those on (only half kidding)

Yep. Just letting people know that I'm aware it's there, or else the "chain slack posts are coming".

i want to compliment you on this post.

this is a post pics of your bike thread...it is not the place for "i hate everything about you & your bike, your car & your family too".

I know it looks a bit silly on its driveside, but I feel comfort with this setup. Short stem + wide dropbar fit me well
