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)

Taking things back another level of simplicity, the drop bars are gone, upright bars are on…


1970 Peugeot PX-10E… My first bike, bought used in 1971…


New / used upright bars from my free Nishiki Mixte…


Perfect shadow on a late afternoon…


Still a pure joy to ride…


Love the relaxed 72 degree frame angles, the 531 tubing and the extended wheelbase…


Campy Athena crankset with a 1977 Phil bottom bracket, serviced once… The outer chainring has the teeth ground off and polished to act as a chain guard… Works great…

Love the cantilever brakes on the Peugeot PX-10E. That's a great frame. Thanks for posting!

My 1980s Miyata turned into a fixed gear with some nice, vintage parts. Probably too high end for the frame, but I don't care as I really like riding this and it all works really well for me. I ded switch the seat to a Prologo after taking this pic. Probably one of the most comfortable seats I've used.

The chain guard... what a great idea!
