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)

Went to the surplus store and found a little ammo pouch that works nicely as a tool bag! Retrofitted with some leather straps. Gonna get some single straps with ''belt like'' clasps and remove the four original canvas button straps along the top of the bag for a cleaner look, but works well for the small on the go quick fix items. And for only $10!

got this tire yesterday and have put 40 miles on it.
i can easily say that this is one of the best upgrades i've ever spent on my bike. $60 at the lbs and sooo worth it. my new philosophy is don't skimp on the tires!!!!!!1

I've been thinking about getting some, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to fork out $80-$100+ for a pair of tires at the moment..

Start off with a set of Michelin Pro3 Race tires... I love them, and they are only ~$78 for the pair on amazon.

Hoping this is a good alternative to clips and single straps.
