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)

WK, I put a pair of those Specialties TA Alize on a frame (that blue one that you like actually) w/ phil hubs/bb - they work just fine.

Nothing wrong with the miche cranks either, especially if you don't want to get too spendy.

They seem really expensive but they come with a chainring, if you look hard you can find them for much cheaper minus the chainring.

how did you manage to strip the octalink splines?
I've only ever heard of that happening due to poor installation.
