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)

This thread is useless.
In that vein, I'm going to share with you something someone said to me last night while discussing the virtues of liquor.

"Funny, although Maker's Mark makes me long for sex with a handful of Cocoa Butter, my belt around my neck, and a lemon wedge in my mouth. "

PBR is for the high schoolers.

Is opening a bottle with your bag a lost art?

Bikes: many bikes

From my experience, the bottle opener on the seat tube only works on larger frames. My vote would be to put get the track drops with opener, or go with track drops with the Surly tensioner.

You are not alone, but then again we have Lone Star instead. Of course both PBR and Lone Star are part of the same company.

Bar key + seat tube + twisties from a loaf of bread. Plus you can swing it around and it perfectly mounts a cat eye light for the back.

*bar keys also open up cans and twist off's in addition to pop off's.
