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)

Hi all, I originally posted this with each 2006/2007/2008 monthly pictures so that you could see all the images without clicking on the link. A mod contacted me as this could be interpreted as distastefull and removed the images. Roadbikereview's forum has a section for "Podium Girls" and this was the closest here that I could find to this (I figured the FG group was more relaxed).

At any rate, I apoligize if the pictures affended anyone as that was not my intention.

Wait, the page header says Gunn-Rita Dahle. Can anyone tell her which pic is of her if she is in there? I guess she does qualify as a real rider

then where are their rides/action shots?

i dunno, i'd just rather see their rides or them riding than pictures of them half naked for no good reason.

It's not so much that they're distasteful, it's that we have had members get in trouble at work when the wrong person walks by their cubicle when the wrong thread is clicked on. Then their IT department blocks access to Bike Forums. That sucks.

All of that aside, couldn't they have come up with more creative cheesecake? Ah well, I was spoiled by going to Rev. Phil's Pornography of the Bicycle film show.
