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)

lol.

How true.

I just bought a set of the Formula / M13 II wheels from my LBS for my conversion. I think (and hope) they'll work well. We'll see.

cool. yeah, post back after you try them out, I would be interested to hear what you thought.

After pricing all this stuff out, I'm now debating whether or not I should just buy a new Fremont or something. I was planning on doing all of this build on a early 80's lugged Nishiki frame that I don't even know is worth having all these new components put on it... :/
