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)

Bike looks nice. I never noticed how raked out the headtube was on those IROs though. I guess its great for riding round town.
Maybe ive been looking at too many track bikes.

trailed

i thought the same thing, but then look at the fork. almost no rake at all.

feels much more responsive than a lot of older road bikes with much steeper head tubes (and high rake forks).

You also have to keep in mind that the frame size is small. The small the frame, the more this in in effect in order to keep the bike handling like a bike rather than a parakeet on crack.

Bikes: How'd I get this many?

Thanks sr20det. I knew that would be a quick answer. Here is another question: does anyone make a 130 bcd chainring for a 5-armed spider crankarm that has those chainring cutouts, like in that Miche crankset? Most that I see, like Surly chainrings, and others, are just solid (lacking cutouts).

I really like the paint on that Peugot... and Peugots in general.

That crackhead bike is probably hot, just sayin.

And yeah, is that seat a theft deterrant for some theif to smack their balls on the top tube as they hurriedly rush away with your bike?

Bikes: I have 2 of them,1 with fat tires & 1 with skinny tires & A Ninja 650

Temporarily I’d electric tape up the fork black. it’s nice, but it’s a little off. IMO
