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'm still too new at this (still haven't even finished my ss conversion! Fixed is a ways off, I fear) to compete, but I wanna come out Sunday and meet some or all of y'all. Gnarboots, you comin' up?

If you're there and need a little extra cash... Anyone have an inexpensive (~$50? ) 700c rear track wheel they'd like to sell? I can hook up with you on Sunday.

Hey, I was there on Sunday with Sivat. We sat next to a nice family in the shade. Has anyone posted pictures? I took a little bit of video of Megan and um....Sarah? (the young lady with the badass pink guerciotti) racing, I can post that when I get home. I was hoping to see some highlights and pictures with names attached so I can attach faces with names of bf-ers.

Oh, and I heart Vomitron's blue cranks.

I think it was vomitron? I assumed it was him due to owning a crazy pursuit bike with tons of stickers - I actually assumed it was him after the fact b/c of an exchange I read between you two. If not...who was that? Had blue campy bmx cranks.

Anyway, this guy took pictures, I don't think he raced.

Were you there?
