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)

Red Schwinn with Yellow Bullhorns. It was usually up at DAAP. Going to be a 2nd year ID - Not in Cincy for the summer though. But, hopefully a Kilo TT or a Windsor Hour when I come back in the Fall.

fixed gears are cool and all (mine's in storage for the summer), but singlespeeds are where its at. built it up this weekend. as well as the skateboard (those wheels are 70's). really crazy to ride but really fun.

Not that I abide by every law but It matters to me that my wife is taken care of after my demise, if it happens by accident. I'm a disabled Veteran and uninsurable for regular life insurance.

I'm trying to figure out a way to get rid of those water bottles but in this heat I really go through some water.
This morning, at dawn, it was about 90 degrees cool. I rode 25 miles and emptied both bottles.

Any ideas? Ah, keep it clean folks!
You have every reason to keep the rear brake and the bottle cages. Some folks like to throw those items out to have that minimalist look. If you need the items, which you do, then function > form. Besides, there's beauty in a practical looking bike.

If you lose the water bottle cages, you'd have to wear a camelbak, get a waist pack that carries bottles, or get the saddle/seatpost mounted bottle cages. None of those options are as practical as what you currently have.

Marinoni Pista

here are some cell phone (sorry for the brightness) pics of my marinoni while on a ride the other day. it's undergoing a few changes soon but here it is pretty much stock form minus the tires and bars.
