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)

Need suggestions for a new color
I have been riding this Univega Super Strada for a couple years now and due to some surface rust developing I decided to strip the paint and go with a new color. IM needing some suggestions on a new color. Any suggestions are welcome!!

How about true British Racing Green? The really dark color that the old Jaguar race cars had. One cool looking color and you never see it anymore on anything.

I would lean toward British racing green, pearl white, Ferrari red, or a Ferrari yellow.
