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)

Keep working on it. Eventually it will no longer be ghetto.

I'm not trying to knock the dude's bike, but no amount of working on it will make that thing "no longer ghetto."

A month or so ago, some guy posted his converted Schwinn Varsity on the picture page, replete with Velocity Deep V's and Sugino 75 cranks - so an Aerospoke doesn't seem so far-fetched.
