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)

Bikes: highly modified specialized crossroads and GT hybrid (really a [formerly] 12-speed bmx cruiser, made before 'hybrid' took on its current meaning), as yet unmodified redline 925, couple of other projects

then a few years ago (9 or 10) they switched it to "Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee"... but maybe for only a few commercials
it was kinda tough to pick up, because they sound so much alike when sung

I know your singing it right now, go ahead, sing it out loud, it'll put a smile on somebody's face
have you actually read this thread?

The correct answer is 'a'. In 1968, Sara Lee introduced what was to become one of the most famous slogans and jingles of all time, “Nobody Doesn’t Like Sara Lee”. The jingle initially began, “Everybody Doesn’t Like Something, But Nobody Doesn’t Like Sara Lee” as a tune with words and music by Mitch Lee, creator of the hit Broadway show, “Man of La Mancha”. The response was immediate and incredible the theme proved thoroughly hummable, and the words well, the rest is history.

I ran a flat bar for a few days recently (killed my Syntace bullhorns in a crash) and missed the leverage horns offer. I was dying for another hand position after 45 mins of riding length / width might not have been ideal, of course.

I traded a saddle for some Nitto drops and I dig 'em.

off topic: Ourys suck when sweaty or wet. Probably better with gloves, but still-- I missed my bar tape.

after seeing how nice track bikes look with risers i couldn't not try it out and...they are great. trackstanding is more difficult and i wouldn't want them for long voyages, but having the extra height in traffic is very nice.
