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)

My fixie.

My semi-new langster, I have been riding all summer. (About 1.1k miles). I just went and did some track and it was awesome. Here is my bike in Track mode. Lots of fun.

Upgrades are

Specialized Pave seatpost and Toupe saddle (stolen from my tarmac)
Specialized Bars
Home made Double Straps
Dura ace 14T cog and Lockring.

Really light (17.5 pounds.)

I have a few pictures and one video thing, that doesn't really make sense (40 hands earlier that evening) but you get the jist. You might just want to mute it and look at the bike, I also took the pictures that evening so they are not very good.









And the Video.

Clean your room. It's making the bike look bad.
