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)

They look like the current standard langster with a different paint job and slight changes in componentry..
Oh, and that last bike in the series of pics in the blog is crazy!

I actually like the Seattle. But I'm building up an older frame like that. I love cruisers.

The Cleveland model should be a fixed gear CX. Actually they should just call it the Euclid.

Don't you mean Daaawnie Iris? The PGH model would be bare steel, with 30x20 gearing, and include cole slaw and fries.

Check the color scheme on my ride...a few of us out here get it.

Ahh but that requires getting the Pasadena version. The Pasadena version is actually the SS cross bike painted safety orange (with matching hard hat), pulling a trailer with the mini tig welder to affix the bike to the car rack. Of course due to OSHA standards the bike cannot be fixed, but has to be coaster brake.

Miami one comes with cell phone, radio, coffee holder and fake brakes. It's orange with blood splatter and has a bullseye on the back of the seat so motorists can spot you easier. Optional 35 mm gun and airbags for the safety concious.
