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)

yeah....hot rides are nice...i need a cheap one : )


so my drops are 36 cm...the horns are 42

this bike comes with 44 and the shop guy says that in real life i am about 43

should i just leave the 44s on for now...or should i have them switched out to 42?
