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)

Sorry guys I have to hit the highway. Chi was awesome. I'll be back up this way for a longer visit sometime soon. I'll put up my pictures on flickr as soon as I get a more reliable internet connection.

No, but it was pretty shiity! It was a cheap triple crank, and he had removed the inner chainrings. In doing so he removed the built-in structural support for the big chainring. Suprised but at the same time not suprised that it bent. They bent it back into place and he rode to the after-party.
