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)

I owned one. I thought the frame was a bit heavy and too flexible. The components are not great though I never had a problem in 6 months of riding (probably averaging only 50-75 miles/month). I recommend you purchase a fully-threaded forged cog to replace the crappy stamped cog. The saddle also blows.

For future reference, do a search. The Hour has been discussed to death.
