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)

Explain to me their odd obsession with putting pictures of naked guys wearing their bags on their website. I would be lying if I were to say it wasn't a tad bit shocking.

Crumplers PDF catalog has a naked girl posing with all the bags. Useful for judging size I guess, though I think the nakedness was just because sex sells.

Yeah, seriously. I just went through every page in that ***** and didn't find a single naked chick.

Why would you lie about something so serious? Why??

I don't know about the new Baileyworks catalogue but the one I have from a few years back shows bag capacity in cans of beer. Cubic inches?....litres?....Beer, Now thats a unit of measurement I can understand.

Well when I was delivering it was kind of the drunk, fun thing to do in Boston. Get drunk on a Friday and haul ass naked down Newbury. If I remember right, the Blackout guys were naked more then a few times and it just went over with the local bag builder who (I think) ponied up some bags to those guys. And the beer capacity of my bag was a selling point for me.
