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)

A great find.

"spokeless rear wheel" Dang!

I wound have jumped on this if it had a bit hipster friendlier chainring like 42. I'm gonna have hard time finding smaller ring with proper BCD coz it's a vintage Campag-no.

I built one just like that...I knew I should have gotten a patent on that floating hub design. Seriosly though you would not believe how aerodynamic these bike are.
