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 think this would be the most amazing item ever to exist.

I've had the same pair of japanese denim paper denim and clothes for years and they look as good as new after high speed skateboard crashes, parties, travels and too much biking to count. I don't know what they cost new but assuming they are like the rest of the good japanese denim probably still more then 200 but when you wear them they look ****ing amazing and never, ever, ever, die unless you truly abuse them.

I got some expensive wool/ nylon mens dress socks an xmas ago and they work great for me for cycling. No bunching, nice wicking, they still insulate when wet, and i like that "corporate" look.
