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)

Q: I've looked at this frame and I believe that it is not one of the Serotta frame but built by Olympia. It appears to be a pursuit frame. Someone has put derailleurs on but appaers not to have a shifting system.Am I correct?

A: Thanks for your opinion....

this was discussed heavily in the cl/ ebay thread. I think the consensus was that it wasn't real and most people hated it. Oh and the rear disk wheel looks like a trash can cover.

haha this is the white elephant of track/trials bikes on ebay. Its sort of like an Escher drawing - at first everything makes sense, but the closer you look the more you realize that something is wrong, disturbingly wrong.

I'm really curious as to who bought this. They're selling about 100 dance CDs and this:

I don't know what I like more, the title of this thread (which means kyle is a TLC fan), or the prospect that the huffy might be his, meaning I'll get to see it on the next ride.

Dude, if that's you, can I get the hookups on some hello kitty grills?

i like how the rear tire isn't even in the bead for the most part, and the rake on the fork reminds me of this chopper bike here in savannah.

I dont understand, this bike shop sells more toy train cars than bikes (not to mention ceramic doves and wheelchairs). They sell too much crap for this to be a joke...

*edit* ok so i see some other bikes they've sold. Just the same, given their feedback, i'd never buy anything from them.

More of a Left Eye fan, and yes that is my bike.
