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 just bought 6 tubes for $10 since everything there was too small for me and/or not appealing. My friend, however, got a Nishiki TT funny bike for $200.

Yeah , Greg remember me from 89 and we talked a little bit

. Bob Julich was there and he was selling his stuff to support a Jr team. He sold his skin suit that he rode in the World's championships.


Too bad no money and didn't sell much goodies.

Potus thanks for the words.

Sashae, We are going back strong, next year!!!


S/F,
CEYA!

Some TTown Swap Photos

I waited until near the end of the day before I remembered I had my camera. There was a lot of other cool stuff there too. Last year I ended up coming home with more random bits. I did a TON of selling. Great day for that. Everything I had was priced to sell.

Bought:
-90's? 57cm De Bernardi road frame. The paint's trashed.
-Shimano 600 shifters, front derailleur, and rear derailleur.
-A mavic short-reach brake for my bike and an Ultegra short-reach for my girlfriend.

Thought about:
-One of those aforementioned TT bikes. That Nishiki was sexy!
-Hats and jerseys.
-Food.

I sold the Peugeot for $150. It's about what I originally paid for it.

About that GT Edge track: I overheard the guy telling someone else that he got some builder to braze in track ends for him. It's probably one of a kind. I think he was asking $550.00
