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)

Is that a Brooks Cambium saddle? If so which one, how do you like it, and for comparison what were you using prior to it? I ask because I'm building a Steamroller and am looking at putting a Brooks saddle on it. I've been looking at the B17 Narrow and the Swallow.

I have no problem with pink, but I do not think it works with the other colors on your bike. So, I am with you on this one.

NBD/First fixed gear.
