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)

It's been a while since I've looked at mine, but I don't think the back face of the drive-side crank looks like Campy.

I love how a guy with a carbon fiber aero prosthetic leg could fly past us on the street, and the first thing we'd all think is, "What brand of crank is that?"

A few years ago at burning man a buddy of mine was hanging around when a beautiful woman, completely naked, comes riding right past on a bike. His wife says, "WOW, look at that!" and he says, "I KNOW! You don't usually see '32 Schwinns in that good of shape!"

He still gets crap for it.

peace,
sam

I have been married long enough to have the automatic response 'At what dear?' while enjoying the view.

Yeah, I've learned the trick of saying, while directing attention to the hottie, "Hey, honey can you believe that she came out of the house looking like that. Geez. What was she thinking wearing jeans so tight. Heck, I can count the change in her pocket from here. That's gotta be bad for her circulation."

Sick setup above, by the way.

I wonder how much power he can put through that prosthesis (relative to his good leg).

i would guess nearly the same amount, but probably a little less, because he can't use his calf muscle
