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: WEEEEE!!!!

I have that exact bike sitting in my shop right now waiting for me to show it some love.

I found this schwinn hollywood a while ago and rode it on some drunk group rides... I had completely forgotten the joy found in coasting:



So... found the suburban sanz rear wheel and seat... have a 5 speed wheel I can put on it for now and have plans of putting a single speed coaster brake wheel on it.

Good times.

Let's not forget Japan, those panasonics, err I mean schwinns, were good bikes.
