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)

Dolan Pre Cursas can be had for $350, frame/fork, headset and seatpost. Got mine from an eBay seller stateside to avoid shipping from the UK.
