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 can play a mean game of hopscotch, dude. You have no idea.

It feels amazing. I had a set of Ellipses for a few minutes but wasn't stoked on them for some reason. The A23s are perfect. Climbing is actually enjoyable now and my middle finger extends to wind.

The compacts are really nice. I find myself using the drop section more and more. We've got some cool ones hitting the shop this week.

Angelus - html doesn't work when posting pics.

I like your bike without the Zipp much better.

Got my Nashbar bullhorns/Cane Creek bar end levers on and wrapped + swapped to an all black saddle.

Since I can't seem to just be happy with anything, I may change the wheel set soon, as well as the BB/cranks, and perhaps put a bigger cog on the side that my freewheel is on, since I never use it.
