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)

It's huge. He's just using a stock photo of a tiny one... Giant says a "large" is equivalent to a 59-63cm frame.

i like that it comes stock with brakes, yet they're not shown... this one must be a mod that came from giant's custom build factory, specifically designed for mini me.

Bikes: IRO Mark V Pro, No-name brand full-suspension mtb (heavy as a tank, but takes a thrashing)

Local shop has one, actually the only fixed they sell. Looks decent but they are asking $100 over the msrp.

I didn't know there were amateur messengers. I wonder if they are allowed to buy the Bowery, or if they have to prove they actually get paid for delivering packages.
