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'm hoping to have a custom frame built some day for my skinny ass, but it probably won't be a track frame when I do have it done. I really like that paintjob, by the way, and the paul's track ends.

loose bearing njs type, these wheels were built for an upcoming keirin project, but i think i'll leave them put for now.

yeah, but don't tell clayton, he'll go into the "most people ride bikes that are too small" thing he does
this ones' 58cm, gonna be hard getting back on the iro its so much easier to ride, just waiting on new itm stem and then i'll try raisers, horns, and other bar options out...25c tires are a bit of tight fit.


btw in the background of this pic is my little victory garden, i'd post up pics of my workinprogress but even though its completely legal, some of the folks on this forum get a little weird when i post up medical marijuana stuff, but it'll be ready for dons' framebuilding show in march.

good call on the loose bearing. i played with two promax hubs when i was at a shop once, one cartridge, one loose.. the loose was noticably smoother and had less drag. **** yeah.

yeah i got real lucky on ebay, the seller scared a lot of people off with his $100 boxing plus an additional shipping charge, funny thing he ended up bringing it up from palo alto over the weekend cause he had a jobsite in alameda.

Nice. I'd like to see more of the wheelset when you get a chance, thinking about the same combo.
And um....more of the garden.

It's a butchered Brooks - search for that thread. Basically to give it a svelte look, like the Swallow but without the cost.

Here is a frame made by my good friend Johnny(RIP) of ALMA PURA. Sorry for bad pics new camera broke already gone to pic up replacement.

The BB area that is what he called Bat Wings to stiffen the area around the BB area. He used to be at Kissena and tell you to stand on the rear triangle to see if it bends. That is true belief in one's work.

He made tight forks that only accepted 19 mm tires. those that seen it and my other fork will tell you that the wheels won't go on all the way.

New paint job in black for the frame.
