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)

"Riding Fixed" reprint

In association with www.fixedgeargallery.com “Riding Fixed” is being expanded and reprinted. Looks like 165 will add more pictures to the book.

Details will soon follow.

I’m posting today to get an idea of the level of enthusiasm for the reprint.

How many would like a copy (probably cost $10, give or take)?

Someone on here sent me a copy and then I sent it off to someone else.
I'd like a copy to keep.

Can I suggest you let someone copy-edit it a little bit.
I'll actually volunteer.

can anyone give a bit of a description? Is it a book, a pamphlet, text, photos, what? I'd probably be interested if it were something like Sheldon's thoughts expanded to a whole book.

I think I'll take at least two--I bet I could even get our shop to order a few copies for sale.

are you going to edit out the incredible amount of "i'm better than you" ish-ness and far from needed sexual orientation insults? man, i really wanted to like that rag, but i can't get down with your attitude. good luck with the reprint, it's nice to see someone doing something, and thanks for the offer, but i'll kindly refuse.
