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 agree, hideous bikes are the best theft deterrent. This one looks like it has greyscale, no one will want to touch the thing let alone steal it.

Handlebar setup with horizontal road brake hoods are enough deterrent I would imagine. 12/10 would not ride.

May I ask, out of genuine curiosity, why you used sideways aero levers rather than cross levers? I've seen it on other bikes and wondered then, too.

With Blackburn Local Deluxe and Planet Bike Full Hybrid fenders: 27 lbs

With Delta Top Trunk & Rock Bros Panniers: 30 lbs

On a 20 mile loop, average speed is about the same as my Peugeot PX-10. This is a nice ride.
