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)

ive been riding with the njs masterlink for 2 years now with no problem. the screw seems to thread on to the link, not just the bolt on the reverse. seems lke a pretty solid design.

The woman driving was on her cell phone, and I caught up with her car as soon as she hit the parkway, she never saw me. I caught a hold of the rear passenger wheel well, and she hit every green light towards the art museum. Ended up hitting like 40-45, no joke.

if anyone on here's from boston, and knows b-fresh, ask him about my skitching stories from when I was living in boston.

well, it was more that you have a big gear and platforms that had me worried. a big gear would be great for skitching, i guess, yeah.

edit: and guerilla idiom, i wasn't referring to the skitching so much as big gear/platforms, but i see now that's not a stopping problem for you.

Granted, I do ride a freewheel, and have been since my last major car accident in october. And some knee problems ever since

edit: I have been riding clipless/fixed for work and for myself for atleast like 5/6 years or so, and it hasn't helped my knees much either.

I'm getting up there, with the number of times I've been involved with traffic accidents[no, none of them were my fault].

Yeah I'm still deciding between Mavic Ellipse or black paul laced to purple [or white] deep v's.

It's a 2000? KHS Flite. Rides like a dream.

those arent my wheels, theyre my friend dave's. I'll definitely vouch for him though, good friend and seller. you might want to add him as a favorite seller, he has the largest collection of track parts I have ever seen. hes been selling alot lately

as far as the master link goes, I check it every now and then just to make sure it isnt coming loose. i have been riding it for over a year and never had a problem.

Parts. Bunch of njs stuff that I got from japanland. Then I thought it looked boring and getting ***** by the fivegold wasn't for me. So i added some colour. Mutts are smarter anyway.

I like the Panasonic, and I totally understand wanting
to run a brake, but I sort of hate unicrown forks on
lugged steel bikes like that.

Oh, but if you ever want to dump that frame, let me
know. 50cm is my size.

okay here is the first post of the Mino Denti. It still has some work left on it but its just about finished. I would like to give it a fresh powder coat of orange sometime this summer.

Oh and this photo was taken at 10:30 at night in my spare bedroom so the colors are a bit blah, I will take a better picture when I have the time!
