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)

You guys suck

All your bikes look like too much fun. Now I can't stop thinking about them. So I was buying a new 10psi pump today and looked at Pistas, a Lemond and then saw a Raleigh Rush Hour. It's $499, I have an urge to sneak away from wifey and buy one in the near future after I buy a trainer and new helmet, toy priorities ya know. Shes gonna get me for all my spending.

I think I will go back tomorrow and test ride each of them. Sorry to offend those of you who are gonna say to build one. At least you might gain a new rider.

he'll figure that out after riding fixed for a few weeks and then try to hawk it on eBay so he has money for an NJS stem or the such. so the itch begins ...

You could ride some Large Marge rims with 15psi and be able to climb like a mountain goat.
