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)

Ok, so the "Beyond the Velodrome" rusty gave me a 9 on the Mohs Scale, but I think this just may have made me peak at a 10 (like a diamond)

Seriously, I'm disappointed in this forum that people would even suggest de-rustifying this bike.

"to have gotten the rust this fast, I've used regular household salt mixed with water and applied it with a brush. Then I've mixed vinegar and bleach and applied this with a brush on top"



For those who are curious.
