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)

Nah, just 6/12/18/24/30-pack on the Cetma!

The new set-up looks nice, can't wait to see it in person.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the campy crank with the zen ring. It just looks weird.

I would f'ing love that Surly as my winter bike. That white non-machined rims is going to get marked up pretty fast by the pads though.

I like your bike.
they're level hubs. I've never used it on the track, only on the street.
I have another pair of wheels that I use for the track.
1.2's are dreamy rims, though. Easy to build with!

But I'm primarily a mountain biker so I would have used MTB cranks either way. They have wider pedal spacing than road cranks and I don't want to have to adjust when going from one bike to the other. I guess it's unpopular to have this opinion in this forum but I absolutely HATE square taper BB's and cranks, so it's either road crank or MTB crank.

How is the chainline with those? I've used MTB cranks for a little while, but even with a narrow square taper I had trouble with chain droppage due to horrible chainline.

chainline is perfect. of course I used a regular cassette hub wheelset so I can use spacers on the freehub to put the cog exactly where I want it for the best chainline.

Fenders may not be aesthetically pleasing, but they're awesome.

the desert homie. 358 days of sun a year. little fluffy clouds, and snow in the mountains mostly,and really fast and furious rain storms that last only an hour max.

I own fenders, but just don't love that one. it looks like its resting on the rear wheel

Yep, that's why I never post pics of my GF on the net. Sooner or later it will end up in a dutch message board.

Those bloody Dutch!
