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)

Just one, but they had to use a sparks can as a shim because the bulb was a 25.4 riser, and the socket was for a 26.4 cinelli.

Bikes: highly modified specialized crossroads and GT hybrid (really a [formerly] 12-speed bmx cruiser, made before 'hybrid' took on its current meaning), as yet unmodified redline 925, couple of other projects




Custom bulbs from Portland, Oregon are really the only way to go - regardless of expense. That's because Portland is better than everywhere else.
