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 disagree kbjack, as a professional bike fitter the formula I use is 98% of hang-line to floor distance -cleat thickness.

Heh, there was some sort of small run of them that came with cable stops on the top tube for some reason. Guess the guy in Italy got confused and thought these were supposed to be single speeds.

i do not think the deda 12.5 is "basic cro-mo" based on what i've read. not the top of the line deda stuff, but definitely more tech than 4130 steel tubing.
