Ebay/Craigslist: Part III, Read the Rules

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)

How does that guy know they are pista cranks? Single chainwheel cranks are pretty common for that era, especially on 3 speeds. Am I missing something?

the weld is on the seatstay bridge, which is hardly the most important part of a bike, if that's any consolation

this would be cool for just bumming around town and making grocery runs

the ****ty thing about finding a good deal is that I know I can't afford components worthy of any frame I find
