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)

Also, Hindenburglar is one of the best new user names in a while, up there with the immortal BUTTCONTROL

I've had one for years. They work great, are a good price, and support many Bay Area cycling events. I'm glad I support them.

Pretty much every subforum on BF: "Pics or it didn't happen".
By the way, I slept with Carmen Electra last night. Thought y'all might want to know.

the notable thing about a&s isn't the questions, it's that the answer is always the same: "call the police"
