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've never seen anything like it. Unfortunately, it's the only
angle picture I've got.

If it had bars welded to it, i'd call 'em 'bullmoose bars'.

I'm not sure what the stem itself is.
