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)

I wouldn't call the bike in the OP "ugly" so much as "lumpy." I like the bikes in this thread. They're all very practical.

Some would call it ugly...I call it practical.

I put my daughters seat on the back and we cruise around the local parks.

I like the OP bike. Nothing ugly about the angles, nothing ugly about the colours. Its clean, its straight. I'd like to see the fork glowing in the dark though.

the original build (Bridgestone 400) was done at pittsburg free ride by my buddy davey for a few weekends of work. He brought it down here to greenville NC in poor condition and I traded him for my Fuji SS conversion... I fixed the wheels and added a few more co-op parts from my bin and bull city headquaters.
