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)

What do you guys think of this as my third Univega? I ran into the ultimate Univega appreciation thread here and think this one is pretty pretty sweet:

Never rode Campy parts so I'm kinda excited. Thanks

or, found this one too:

Mint condition, never been ridden '85 Custom Maxima 10sp

i think it's a decent buy. i'd just keep in mind that there are some $300-350 new-bike options out there as well. if you're going to put new bar tape on this, new pedals, clips and straps, and maybe a new seat (unless you're cool with the women's seat), a front brake (unless you're cool with brakeless), the added costs might make it a touch more expensive. Also, some people are against using cogs that small (13 teeth on this one, I think), due to increased tension/wear on each individual tooth... but maybe you have to ride super hard for that to be an issue.

honestly, i think that's a really good buy - and i've never recommended anyone to buy a conversion on here before. it's solid steel, and nice geometry, for considerably less than most other ****ty conversions sell for these days.

that pista concept guy emailed me with his number, but he must have typed it wrong, because it was not the right one. now i'm waiting for another email with the correct number. the suspense is killing me.

If you want to race at the single speed worlds. I just saw this on ebay and thought it was a cool oppertunity to pass along. I know there were some SURLY folks when they didnt get picked for the race. https://cgi.ebay.com/Single-Speed-MTB...QQcmdZViewItem

tie-dyed stuff has always seemed so nasty to me, but color aside, i'm sure it's a great bike.
