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)

Its not a weird place to take a pic of a bike, its just not where YOU would take a pic of a bike, does that make you weird?

I always wanted to strip one of those blue maddies and swap the bars out for Soma or Nitto chromes...maybe a Brooks...class! But my 2 cents...those pedals suck and need replaced...the rest is rider-choice.

stem seems fine...bars I agree...saddle...why? If you just want a Brooks or something I get it...I'd be into the saddle on there...just PM me when you want to get rid of it. I'll even swap some MKS Sylvans for it.

I did some research and found that the bolts on the stem strip out easily, and I would also want a shorter stem, the saddle is still up in the air as I really havnt ridden it for any lenth of time yet but truth being the truth I would prob prefere a Brooks

ah...go with a Nitto stem...soooo worth the extra dough. Very nice looks too. Brooks B17 special with a chop would look sweet. Match a set of Elkhide bar wraps from Velo-Orange and half wrap the bars...pure sex!

Sorry, I guess it is a perfectly normal spot to take a picture of a bike, TV, CD collection, and a bad ass knife.

I do like the powder blue BTW, like it a lot.

^^^ the bike didn't but picking apart his tv/weponds/lame music made it worthwhile.

At least it's not a thread asking about which bottom bracket is best for the Sugino 75 cranks.

I think that's the best looking budget FG. Take off the rear brake and those ugly levers.
