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 actually searched the archives for this guy and all of his articles are like that. i'm still not entirely sure if he's that stupid in real life or if he's attempting some sort of colbert-style role playing (the role being that of a jackass)

if the latter is true, he certainly had me going.

seriously im new to the biking scene and not yet familiar with the slang you guys use.
sometimes the acronyms confuse me like FS means for sale.
I used to think IRO was like a common acronym like FS but i realized it was a manufacturer.

Here's a hint: www.google.com

There's a difference between being new to the biking scene and new to the goddamn internet.
