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)

That reminds me of a video I once saw of a guy doing stunts on a unicycle. He's showing off in front of a crowd, does a big drop, and completely tacos his wheel. Good times.

That, a few spokes, and true up (assuming you re-laced it yourself) should only set you back about $50.
