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'll be in 858 in the not too distant future, but 619 is becoming more and more of a memory for me...

It seems like all the good people moved to SF.

It's funny. With the best weather around... a decent college for open minded folks.. we should have more, logic would say. SF is probably my favorite city from back in the day day...

Mr. Karsten, not in the 619, but nice to have you back in one piece. How's the Thalycine threating you?

Not to totally hijack your thread or anything (read: I'm going to totally hijack your thread), but do any of y'all know of good shops in SD for cycling shoes? I'm getting some for Christmas, and I need to be able to try a bunch of different stuff on (leaning toward SIDI's from what I've read on here, but I'd like to see how they feel) and would rather try on and buy from the same place.

If not I'll just find what I want in NY and buy them here, but since they're going to be a gift from someone in SD it would be cool to get them there.

I might end up doing that, but I really need to try them on and ask a million annoying questions, and I don't wanna be that jerk who wastes an hour of someone's time at an LBS only to save $5 online. But, if there's a huge price difference I'll probably order online.

I just don't know too many bike shops in SD, and I'd like to have a big selection. Bicycle Warehouse looks rad, thanks for the suggestion!

It sits in the house nicely. I've been extended on the canoe here for 5 months. I won't lock it up on the pier, so it will be until January until I can ride it for real.

So, me and the bianchi for now. All said and done, it's nice to be home.
