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)

Says the guy who has been here 4 months.

But the sentiment is accurate.

Ha! Italian Steel paid $1000 a piece for their signature matching green white and red Chrome Metropolis bags. They paid to have the workers from chrome flown to Italy, so that they could craft the bags using Italian Cordura (smoother than normal cordura) with Ferrari seatbelt buckles. Money ain't a thing.

Clearly from a third party B-quality bag clearance sale since it's over 2.5 times worse than my bag. Possibly The Worst. The value is where it's at, kids. I wish I paid more for mine, it's falling apart already.

I paid $75 for a car. I can fit lots of bags in there, maybe a donkey, and it has... like, wheels. Too.

Don't put the donkey inside. You'll need it to tow your cage around. Thanks.

Look at the bright side. If it ate me with my chrome on, it would probably sh1te pure gold after that. Then you could afford a bike.

Clearly we don't live in the same world. Look for the one they sell Chromes for $250 in.
