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)

never mind those shoes and those pedals.
Or a blue helmet with a red bike.


...seriously, why is that first bike even here? it has gears. and since it's resting against a stand, maybe the seat was just high so that he would have some place to clamp the bike.

You have clamped a bike in a stand before right?

noones making fun of him in the picture we're commenting how every bike he owns is set up to fit noone. Maybe you can be the one to tell him he needs to raise his bars and buy larger frames in the future.

dude, stop handing out "what he should do so you can sleep better at nights" maybe if you post up some of your bikes we all could rip em apart and tell you what is 'wrong' with YOUR bike. this thread is f u c k i n stupid and should be ended asap

joe i dunno if you got a great deal on them or what but your opinions are way too big for you

flipping your stem so that is has a chillax rise might help a little but im guessing youll need a new set if you ever want to be comfortable

I has more to do with his riding being more enjoyable, healthier, and faster than me sleeping at night. Also I think it's funny that so many hipsters bikes have the exact same things wrong with them. I bet he likes to say that he prefers an "aggressive" position.


I've posted some of my bikes before if you want to tell me what's wrong with them be my guest. Maybe I'll even fix it if your comments make sense and(I'm not holding my breath here) you demonstrate some knowledge about how a bike should be set up.

Replacing the bars with one without any drop would eliminate like 2 inches of spacers. Got some TT bars for my fixed but didn't realize it had a drop based on the web pic and could never get it to fit right.
