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)

I hope I don't get ostracized fo this, but do they race tandems on the track? I've never seen that.

edit: Hot damn, that is a mighty fine bike.

Bikes: heh, like that info would fit here...

Until a few months ago I had a genuine Pogliaghi track tandem w/ full record parts hanging in the shop on loan from a local collector. ****ing gorgeous. Back in the heyday of track racing tandem events were rather common.

Regarding comments about fixie tricks: people don't really skid or trackstand on the track these days, the point is generally to go very fast in a circle, which is significantly more fun that it sounds.

Every year Trexlertown hosts "Tandemonium." It's not quite as tandem-filled as it sounds, but it's still amazing and fun to watch. Last summer a pair of guys wiped out pretty bad. I don't think either were seriously hurt, but tandem crashes evidently look really awkward and painful.

And yeah, that bike is entirely cool. I'm wondering the same thing about the Zipps being able to support the extra weight...
