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)

Out of the loop

Its been a while since I posted on here. In between moving from Hawaii to the Bay and working to much and riding motorcycles and skateboarding, I haven't rode a bicycle in a little while. But now I've moved to Atlanta and there is a velodrome only a few miles away.

So besides getting a new bike,




What messenger bag should i get?

Forget the bag. You should be asking what tires you need to replace the ones that are dry rotted.

No, the messenger bag definitely comes first.

I'd get a Timbuk2 if I were you. They're kind of hard to find though.

i have a timbuk2 and a chrome. i like the chrome a lot better - hugs your body better and the fact that the chrome is mossy oak let me exercise the inner redneck in me.

Don't bother with a Timbuk. The ones from the Gap are much better.

Also, what is the "black bag" or whatever mentioned in your post and on the site? I didn't see any information about it.

Ha! yeah the bag line was a joke. I know how everyone in here gets about them. I don't need a bag, just a bike.
