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)

Bikes: Giant hybrid and a Puegeot fixed gear

My first fixed gear

So I'm almost finished with my peugeot iseran fixed gear! One problem the saddle has worn a little thin over the years and I need a new one. Any suggestions? Keep in mind I'm a college student, thus, I'm on a budget.

Snag something off another bike you have around/a parts bin at a local bike shop etc. I mean, being on a budget, unless your posterior is super sensitive, its not going to make a ton of difference, if it gets uncomfortable, stand up and ride faster so you dont have to be on it as long
