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)

Is it against the rules to ask if someone is selling something on here?

If you can find a Jamis Sputnik out there somewhere, it has very road geometry. I think mines 73/73.5

Do I detect a little OCP there? AC wheels look great, light as a feather. Over in the Roadie forum most folks have spoke counts like 18/24. The 32/36 spoke counts here made me think all fixies were ridden by Jabba the Clydesdale.
