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)

Oh, and it's supposed to be 58-59ish in size.
Wow, well if you do decide to ship it elsewhere, it's the perfect size for me. But i totally understand if you want to keep it local.

Everything is against my buying this. I'm not into TT frames that much, I categorically need a front brake, I am a weight weenie and don't even like steel that much. Just recently bought and built a frame I really like and don't really have the money. But it's so damn sexy that I at least play around with the idea now.

If you're interested, I can put you on the waiting list I'll wait a bit to give locals a chance to pick it up, but if it doesn' sell in a week or so, you can start making your offers Maybe I'll throw an email to the local messengers' website so they know about it.

It would be really interesting to know where this thing comes from. The seller has no idea, and there never was that much of a track culture here...

Just dug this up to tell the interested parties (yay, pun!) that the ad has been removed from the site. I guess somebody bought it. So we probably won't see it built up. To rub it in (or as a consolation, pick one) here's a pic of the thing on wheels:




Gorgeous, if you ask me.

i had my eye on this for a while. I wouldve bought it but i think sizeing wouldve been too much of an issue. as would a yello bike.
