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)

Good to see you're still around. Are you in ATL or BHM? I'm still using my front brake on Nizuma.

I mostly just skid for fun, to work leg muscles, and to slow down, NOT to stop. I challenge any top skidders/skippers to a stopping challenge against my brake, I'll even let ya do the 180 stop.
