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 feel like you should almost always offer less.

edit: but that's a deal.

Is this a decent deal? Should I offer less?
If it fits you, I'd say that's a great deal. I'd snatch that up in a heartbeat.

I don't know if it'll fit or not. I'm 6'0. I'm just guessing i'd be around a 56 or 58.

For some reason, there's a raft of extremely nice 60-61cm lugged road frames on eBay right now.

I'd love to rock a purple Colnago.

I would put a 58 squarely in the range of a 6' rider, but obviously it varies by body type.

Yes. Much better to post a pic of that tattoo than the wheel he's selling.

nice alu Ibis ENO ss

I've seen this bike locked up in Fremont a few times. $900 might be a bit steep but it's a sweet ride.

1994 Pegoretti.

Edit: Not that I'd condone the converting of such a frame. This 1st Gen Record group w/ Delta brakes would have complimented it about perfectly, though.

Apologies for all the geared content.
