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)

search for Morati, or Storck, SRM, or anything else.

Stupid high bike prices are everywhere.

Keep in mind that many people think spending more than a bill on a bike is nuts, yet many people on this forum have spent more than that on rims, or tires for that matter. I know I have.

Comes with BB. Reputable seller. I win the poker tourney tonight it's mine. $900 for a new transmission is crazy.

im sure they're a great shop in person but im still bitter about their part in the difficulty in getting HKK chains domestically. (for which they charge _60_ dollars more than any other place i've seen). if im misinformed about that whole scenario, please correct me. ive bought stuff from them in the past and they've been quick and friendly. the customer service was good, but i question their business practices, and 900 is completely absurd, even WITH the bottom bracket. I know those are pretty rare cranks but come on...

I think it looks nasty. If I was offered to choose between this and a Bulletproof to be installed on my bike... I don't even dare to complete this sentence on this forum.
