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 just got my Mark V this week, and without adding links to my chain I don't think anything bigger than 23's would fit. I have lots of space in the track drops.
I was looking at a mark V and was worried about ordering one online without riding it, what frame size are you guys riding for your height? I'm about 5'10"
I ordered a "53cm" angus; I'm 5'10" but I like a short bike. Since my conversion's top tube is about 54.5cm,and feels a smidgen too long, I went with the 53, since the TT measurment is supposedly 54. Fingers crossed.
