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)

Wasn't expecting this in an ad? First 2 seconds are impressive, watch at .25x speed. Never seen a saddle come off in a crash before?

Really dumb kids. I do like Chrome stuff it is of quality but those guys are really reckless and silly. If I did skateboard that would be a neat bag but I would probably just stick with one of those Fairdale skate racks.
