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?

Please reconsider that saddle if you actually plan on riding the bike.

the padded one isnt nearly as bad as the non padded. its not the most comfortable thing for sure but its not quite as torturous as one might believe.

if you're gonna spend the big bucks for the all gold groupo you might as well get the sugino grand mighty cranks (gold). the black would really clash. pretty nice, pretty nice...i hope you don't just ride 2 blocks to get coffee and sit by it. i would have to punch you. --friend of HCE, not him

i thought the gold group WAS for going to the coffee shop. you know, like how hummers are for getting the kids to soccer practice.

can you tell i'm old and broke?

Now, now...let's reserve our hatred for those less fortunate than us. After all, we're American.

That frame is the mintiest.

I can understand your excitement, but you should've waited to spring the full bike on this forum.

on another note, look what I just bought...

I wouldn't punch you, but I might both turn green with envy. That looks like one sweet ride. Black gold and purple are nice, the champagne cranks might clash with the gold parts like yellow and beige. Now you have to choose a matching or clashing chain! congrats.

congrats, that is a totally sick frame. it was on stratton's blog for a long time. i think that thebikebiz has a lot of that gold stuff for less than ben's cycle. then again, ben's does offer "THE ULTIMATE DRIVETRAIN"

Bikes: No bike at the moment; In process of building it.

You need a black frame with gold lettering, and the aforementioned Sugino Grand-Mighty crankset in "champagne". That'd be a *****in' bike fer'eal.
