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)

highlight of my week. Not sure what postage costs, but I'm guessin somewhere within the $80-$100 range. If its obscene, I'll sell my frame to someone over there, and you can pay for shipping.

I got a 62cm in green, but I'm a short guy (6'2") with 37.2" inseam + a tiny torso.

The matte finish is beautiful. It makes me happy.

Yep I love the matte black and am glad I ordered it. However, I do like that blue too.

got blue frame #1.

it's amazing. the blue is much darker than it seems in pictures.

it looked great inside, and even better outside.

no gashes in the paint.

good times.

I tell ya... when I got home yesterday and saw my Matte Black frame, I melted!

I have about half the parts for it. I'm gonna get a headset and BB installed and have my wheels built, black machined fusions laced to black Harris Cyclery fixed/fixed hubs. I have some matte black moustache bars too!

HECK YEAH! I see some Matte Black envy going around

I got the blue, and it's tight, but that black is serious, I'm a bit jealous.

Oh man I have been itching to get my hands on these frames and parts. I had everything ordered about 2 weeks ago and it seems that every package that arrives is something other than bike stuff.

My parts are silver and black with the wheels being silver formulas laced to silver aeroheads with black spokes.
