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)

the dura ace post matches the dura ace cranks. i say leave it. no use changing stuff for the colors on a bike that looks like it's not supposed to be ridden on the street.

i wouldn't ride that on the street.

A few owners ago Sashae had it. It is a hair small for me. I bought it thinking it is a 62cm frame (advertised at a 62cm) , it isn't it is a 61cm in Teesdales Pursuit geometry. The seat tube isn't the problem as I have to have a long post on all of my frames (6'6") the shorter top tube is the only problem. I am seeing if I can make it work before I decide to keep it or get rid of it.

I'd cry if I saw that 4 spoke snap from some ****** doing ****ty wheelies. Plus I don't see the value of a disc wheel on the street, just harder to stop.

Yeah but it helps you turn faster when the crosswind is going the same direction as you are. I like to call it Street Sailing.

better pics to come. waiting for new wheels from london, but the chainline is pretty perfect so it works fine as a single speed.

Was bored today on my day off so I took some pictures of my two bikes in the most recent state.

2005 Pista; This is my "hipster mobile", color coordinated, going to class/running errands bike.



and my 199(? does anyone know) Cannondale Track; Use this bike for longer rides, riding to work, and when I feel like going fast.

Ya it's been through at least 2-3 people since me... really nicely finished bike, I wish it could find a good home! WWAAAAY too big for me -- felt like I was riding a damn horse.

get ready for your handlebars to turn grey about the third time you touch your bars.
