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)" Really? Sunday I will be 77 years of age (Dec. 22, 1947 - now) and I ride whatever the hell I want and some 30 year olds are just obstacles in the road. |
Apologies
Maybe that was a little challenging... I had a young kid about 50 who was very rude to me on the road yesterday. He ate dust.

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ce17263b18.jpg Go really fast, brah Over 10 years later the piece was played again to greater acceptance. Looking at this ("bike" pic) kind of mullet set up, with the low bars and tilted back seat. And that kind of adjustable flexible riser stem thing.... all I can think is - I'd like to not see this again for 10 years.... or longer! welp.... happy trails and nearly Merry Christmas. ps - is that a down tube shifter on a fixie ? like, just to cover up the shifter boss? .... they make little covers for those bosses, is all i'm sayin'..... i mean - if you're just throwing stuff from the parts bin on a frame that you can't sell, i understand that. totally. ... but i like do have some limits, personally. |

I have that on both sides of my downtube. It's just my love of Simplex. Nothing functional, just sweet memories of the smoothness. Love the fixed, love the Simplex just for the beauty and unused functionality. Nerd, I am. |
Pretty setup but such a tiny chainring...

After a break from it for a little while, I’m enjoying being back in the single speed MTB game.
