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)

Got a *REALLY* Hi-Flange Hub

All it took was a fiver and a 6-pack for these escalator repair guys and now I've finally found a match for that 20-foot clincher I've had banging around forever!



..now to find some spokes....

Yep. Suxxor. I don't care about walking down a flight of stairs but it's just the dorks coming up them that don't seem to get that my bars are 55cm across and that I am 40something cm across that get to me. Let me pass, ye dorks!
