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)

Our frames and forks cost more when they leave the shop in Taiwan. I know that because Tony and I both get frames from the same shop. I know what Tony pays and he knows what I pay.

And our markup is the same or less than IRO's.

And we throw in a headset.
Fight! Fight! Fight!

nah, i'm just teasing.

Curious what a complete single speed would go for through you. Let me know via PM...

The vendor wanted insane money for the 9-sp/FG hub.

So we're gonna use standard disc hubs and make Level-type cogs.

No fight. Just facts.

It's fun to think that this is some kind of competition. But it isn't.
