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)

hahah! That's awesome!

Much as I'd like to, I don't think I want to even try making a shirt like this. What would I do if someone actually placed an order?
Rode hard? It's been in the triple-digits all week here. It was nearly 90 out at 8 o'clock last night. My shirt looks like that if I cruise at 12 mph to the grocery store 1 mile away. Hell, if I walked my bike to the party my shirt would *still* look like that.

I really need a Exclusive track Fixed gear (fixie) bike that's cool! - $500 (SOMA / south beach)

I want to buy a track bike because I think it looks cool to show the world you only need 1 gear.

Vintage lugged frame preferable. Would also like Flashy "High flange" Hubs with Deep Vee rims and really thick spokes. If the rims were colored fushia that would be even better. I know this is the style because everybody has them.

A racey top tube pad would also look sweet.

No Bianchi Pistas please.

Hey were are all in a fraternity of riders here that knows what's cool and what's not. Let's show others would being a fixie rider is all about. Style and Independence forever!!

I can't see how this isn't a joke, but it's still pretty funny.

Sorry, we actually have winter here - most of the year you have to ride hard to look like that...

Ahhh yes! Anything NoMeansNo. There were here in Chicago not too long ago. They are still great for a bunch of old guys.

I'm partial to anything from Bad Brains, The Cows, Alice Donut, DKs, Blag Flag, Fear, etc etc. Also way into The Clash (https://db.etree.org/cookiepuss#a2617)

Saw a girl that looked about 14 wearing a Ramones shirt today. Made me feel kinda old. . .

So i was thinking about this and i think that you've got it wrong. You need to put a decal over the sweat stains so that then people can start a thread about how to remove the decal so they can be "pure" by showing the real sweat stain

Always remember that you are absolutely unique, just like everyone else.
We are all wearing uniforms.
Whatever is uncool is cool.
Be kind because everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.
