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)

I'll buy one. I'll send it to you. Send me 20 bucks. The profit will go to my Thylacine build. I'll even write your name on the rim tape. And we'll call it anything but charity.

Bike whoring, how's that?

Heard from FGG this morning. He's in the final stages, meaning, and I'm guessing here, about two more weeks until they get printed and are ready for sale. Might be sooner.

I love all the bandwagon people who say "I'm gonna buy".. and "plus one" and all that. I guess they post simply to post. Or may be sound cool.

Plus one to the guy who said he'd pass because he didn't like Mayo. At least he's honest and puts up what he really thinks.




If anyone can, do a search for "Riding Fixed" and I"m sure you'll see all the dramarama here that went with the book. It's a cool book and no kid should be with out it. And you're all kids.

Even you 165. Except you're a punk kid.

I'm really glad to be seeing this happen.

Mayo's Riding Fixed is a piece of bikeforums lore that should live on, despite the new crew.

I was actually surprised by how many people seem to know what it is.
Aw well.
