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 can't even imagine how much a Litespeed tandem would cost...wowza

Just built her up, Kona Hahanna, all I need now is a chain tensioner and to remove the extra cogs from the freewheel, though she rides quite nicely the way she is.



Need some skinny tires, will prolly get some Wtb Slickasaurus'.

Yeah, that's probably one of the nicest Kilo builds I've ever seen. Definitely has the best parts I've ever seen on one. Colored spokes make my wienier move a little.
