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)

of course, you'll see confederate flags in the north (for whatever dumb reason) and they might be sold at army surplus stores, but the flags simply are not sold in gas stations openly like they are throughout the south.

and yes, rednecks exist everywhere. what did david cross say about the redneck accent and the gay voice...how they are curiously the only ones found throughout society?

adds weight, more expensive, more parts that wear, and more parts to clean.

But, it's got built in redundancy in case any part fails.

That dual drive is bad ass. Pointless, heavy, redundant, absurd, but still, bad ass.

It's called a pursuit bike. The front wheel is a 650c and I'm sure it's an original fork. There are/were many frame makers but I recall Yamaguchi making many such bikes.

Because the rear end is not a track end I am not sure if it is considered a pursuit, TT, or funny bike. I don't see a derailleur hanger.

i'm guessing he ground the derailer hanger off. I believe it's a TT bike (funnybike is kind of a made up after-the-fact term iirc). pursuit bikes have the track ends i think


fun bikes when geared though. this is mine, no plans converting it (it's keeping it's gears)

Looks like a pretty slack head angle on there. How does it ride?
