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)

The next one I build up is probably going to be fixed gear.


partly aesthetic but its more for experience. ive never had the opportunity to mess around with/adjust or fix disc brakes.
