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)

neh I am pretty sure they are weinmann lp-18's yo if I was this guy I wouldn't waste my money on velocity products I have a set of cheapo weinmanns look just as ugly as deep v's on my bike but hey they were cheap

this is the nicest bike I've ever owned. it rides nicer than the pake (that fit me) and either conversion (both of which were made of decent steel and which fit me). and when I find the cash to buy an equivalently nice frame that DOES fit me, I will. but until then, I'm gonna ride the hell out of it and love doing so.

Lots of standard upgrade-y things, my favorite are the aerohead rims with Iro hubs and the new decals my friend Jon (who owns a sign shop) made me. Oh, and the bell on the other side shifter boss.
Liked it better before.

Huh. There *was* some 80's charm happening with it before, but I don't know... looked kinda like a birthday cake. I prefer it now.

Having seen the bike in person before the conversion I can tell you, no, you didn't like it better.

How are you liking that fork? Big change from the stock one in ride quality or handling? I've been considering going w/ a carbon fork on mine.

Nice bike, btw.

yeah, it was a chore, because the outer spokes curve so much, but ive got it tensioned and true now, and am keeping a pretty close eye on it. only nerds will notice, because it really isnt apparent unless you look at it dead-on, but it gave me something fun to do while is was recovering from hip surgery.

Thanks, definitely not as eye-catching compared to most of the bikes posted here but it serves its purpose.
