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?

What do you know about MOTHs?

Any good? The look like IRO Jamie Roy.
What about the company that makes/sells them?
What's the word on the street on these rigs?

edit: i did a search too, and not much came up.

Bikes: IRO Angus 53, Marinoni Special 54, LMNO Custom Road Bike, Guerciotti TT, Late 60s Bottechia Road, Univega Via Montega beater/polo/rain bike.

their graphic designer likes to murder the kerning on logos.

other than that, i think they are nice looking. never seen one in person or rode one so my opinion is worthless.

sorry.

LOL! I noticed that. I'm a graphic designer. Not sure if I can ethically handle getting one but thought I'd ask. I might be able to get over it.

black bike + black tape = no logo.

I'm not sensing much love for this frame.

ugh, the first thing i noticed was the awful kerning, and then the oddly large downtube.

the inside of the stock fork has a really obnoxious tube that the brake travels through. this makes it impossible to knock a star nut through the bottom. while this does not matter at all, it shows lack of attention to detail.

and the decision to name it moth comes from "streetcar named desire" fwiw. blance dubois was described as airy and fluttery, like a moth. not like a butterfly. I don't know why I remember 11th grade english class 10 years later, but I do.
