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)

Hey Ben and Julie! Congratulations from the guy who made an ass out of himself at Kenny's bachelor party and then made an ass out of himself at Kenny's wedding. It was nice to meet you guys and I wish you all the best.
