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)

This.

I've heard about it, but haven't seen it around. Anyone run this set-up?

-or-

Anyone seen a chrome 38mm 1 1/8th" lugged fork around? Maybe one that's painted but chrome underneath that ya don't need... PM

Yeah, the Devolution looks like the classy way to do it.

And run a Soma Rush chrome fork.

Anyone know what those things weigh? I'm sure they're like lead anchors, but my casual Google searching hasn't turned up any numbers.
