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)

I rode bear aa bars, last week, and it is dangerous if you are skidding. flat bars are ok because your hands , when greasy will slide into the middle if anything, but on b123s, they starting curving out so quickly that your hands slip out fast, and it is ****ing scary!
I am not quite yet impotent, but as I typed that I think my count when down by a few million, so um, thats all.
Nice bike.

yes they always change. Keirin pros order any colour they want...i used to have one so fluoro pink that it hurt!

The one above is too bright to be 1cm1. My friend in Osaka has 1cm1 and is is very soft pink

Hmm... floral pink won't do. Even though I really want a pink frame in my collection, I have to draw the line somewhere and floral is just a bit too feminine (and ftw neon makes it way more masculine )

I hope your Vivalo doesn't explode while you're on it.

Though if it does, at least you'll die with your bars wrapped. Unlike some people.
