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)

how does it fit you? the fit of some of those older bikes can be really annoying. or really nice.

Those tires look really light. Doubt they have much rolling resistance either. . .
But I must ask, how do they stick?
