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)

That Tommasini has sealed the deal; no more funky colored tires for me anymore. I'm only mounting gumwalls from now on.

Jesus, this bike has it all. Tight clearances, old school classy stem, nice paint and a chrome fork.

On closer look though, it appears to be some sort of cheap Walmart knockoff track bike that will need to be disposed of immediate... I'll do you a favor, you can just ship it to my house, k

Awesome bikes. Great job on the conversion, and that park bike makes me want to go break some limbs

Those Somax wheels will look a zillion times better if you take off the decals though.

WD40 on a paper towel can get sticker residue off. Then use dishsoap+water to get the oil off.

I normally don't like pink bikes but yours looks really good. Props.
