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 brought one home (18t) the other day and my wife (a non cyclist) was very drawn to it. I ended up getting some nice leather strapping and gave it to her for valentines so she could wear it as a pendant.

That's where I got mine.
Came super quick.
Ordered it on Saturday got it today.
But, what the F is up with their online ordering system?
The majority of the best online bike shops have the ****tiest websites EVER!
Yellow Jersey, BikeWorks NYC, Business Cycles...
What gives?

Too busy being awesome on a personal level to put too much into their sites. Some of the designers here should offer their design services to these site in exchange for bike schwag.

Is there a particular reason why the cog is only polished on the face? (aside from aesthetics)

i also thought they were polished, but i think they're just chromed...
and one side, because you only see the one side (when mounted).

i think it would be really hard to chrome just one surface of it.

ok, so when chroming things they're just dipped, which
i knew. and usually they are polished before, so you're
right, they are polished. but i guess it would be possible
just to partially dip the cog face down. that's actually sort
of the impression i got when i looked at mine. it seemed
that it was chromed, then the chrome (shinyness) faded
away just on the other side of the teeth.
so ...ask phil.
