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)

Maiden Voyage

I went for my first ride today, on the Raleigh that I converted to SS. I LOVED IT! I wimped out and passed on the fixed gear, but I'm pretty happy with the free-wheel. Until I found this forum, I never even thought about a single speed bike. I converted my bike over using the search option on this site to get the info I needed. This is a great forum, thanks guys!! Oh yeah, legalize it, I'm still rockin on 27s :>) I do ride a Raleigh Technium with 700Cs though.

Today was the first ride, but I do believe the SS will become the bike of choice for a while!!
