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)

Hey Hey, now it's time to chime in. I do similar work for a firm in Yardley, PA (~40 min N of Philly). I do substation design and some medium-scale distribution work. Are you looking for a job? Our company is looking to hire someone for work with one of the utilities up there. PM me if so.

Oh man! Has the labor movement sunk so low that folks don't know the IBEW?!! I must be more old-school than I thought. (Or maybe it's just the fact that I used to work for a labor union.)
