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)

I don't know why I like that rack but for some reason I just do. It is not quite a rear rack and not quite a front rack but is a front rack and could mount panniers but also could carry all sorts of stuff on top.

Love to hear a ride report on this. You can hang panniers on it, no?

P.S. Where'd you pick it up, James?

I specifically wanted a rack with a decent sized front platform that would use the mid-fork eyelets. I have heard that this frame rides pretty well with a load on the front, and so far, that seems to be the case.

I bought the frame used on a Facebook group.

I meant the rack, but I like the space horse, too.

It mounted up easily, and doesn't seem to have any rattles. I am curious how well it will perform as I approach the weight limit.

Got the new tires for the Langster today. Pics with wheel labels on and red tires, labels remover and red tires, now with labels removed and black tires. I am very happy with the change in appearance.

Yeah, I thought the red was going to look better than it did. Now, with both my MTB and this bike, I am loving the blacked out bike with a couple of small parts in blue for the MTB and red for this bike. BTW, my MTB, Langster, and Venge have those same bars, they fit my body well and are very nicely made.

Thanks in part to the dilligence of @Huffandstuff I just bought some sweet Mavic Pursuits which will probably kill my back with my 130mm stem but at least they'll look sweet

Absolutely, who gives a damn about physical well-being? Nah but on a serious note, if I want a comfortable ride I've got my 0 degree 120mm and risers.

I think feeling tempted to buy (sometimes) ridiculous socks is one of the only downsides to being a cyclist

I currently have two pairs I haven't even worn yet and another pair I've worn only once.

bought some new road derp bars, some of the cheap odyssey flats, and some hold fast straps. Gonna be nice to have a set of those to throw on my commuter in case for some reason I can't run clipless that day.


Thanks for the lightning fast shipping, as well as the sketchy mexican chile candy, @Scrodzilla !

picked up some GR10's at the lbs. been using GR9's and been happy with them for the most part but wanted to try something a little wider for comfort plus sometimes it's hard to visit the shop and not buy something.
