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)

Hot or Not?

I think these are made in Taiwan - fixed option available.

I don't personally like that type of wheel but on the right bike I think they might look pretty dope

Peel the stickers off though

I vote not, but I tend to like spokes better anyway. Maybe they'd look better less shiny and more flat/matte.

That guy doesn't seem to be moving too many of those though, eh? If you get 'em post a review!!

The black ones minus the stickers would be nice for my TT bike.

hot with a new paintjob - and yeah, I've seen those before on Hardcore 100's flickr. He says they're cheaper than aerospokes.

Where can you get them in the states?

with the right set up hot--
i.e. track frame not conversion,

top tube pad.
