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)

There is a god!

Nice. You aren't

Maybe it's because it's your size? Maybe you have to be nearly 2 metres tall and Canadian to understand?

That's good enough for me anyway.

bombusben, Is that a conversion of an MX Leader or a Eddy Pista frame?

I have an MX leader road bike in the Motorolla colors too, from '96 but my fork is different. Can't tell about the dropouts from that picture...

It's a pista. It was Norm Alvis's (holder of the US hour record) back when he was on Motorola. It spent most of its life flying on the boards in Europe, but it puts up with going slow in Kenosha too. Still looking for a *reasonable* set of DA7600/tubes for it though. How's your MX set up?
