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)

NICE. I was actually expecting worse. I woke up this morning and went straight to the bathroom to check for wonderful sharpie drawings on my face. When there wasn't any I was a bit disappointed. Well I'm not disappointed now. Gav, Paul, and Charlie if you guys ever want to ride give me a ring (Paul's got my number). I'm not fast but I love the bike. Msngr, you'll get yours some day.
