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)

Maybe you could trade, flip it on eBay, then buy another rush and some beer with the profit?

I think it's really nice too.

I'll trade you a nice '81 Ross with Shimano 600 stuff. From back in the day when they were still hand made in the USA... by ELVES!

Seriously though, the Rush Hour IS a really nice bike. It may not be exotic, but when you're riding it who cares?
