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)

im getting close with mine. Early 60's chrome frejus, full campy, cinelli everywhere else, wooden rims, dugast silks on the way.



or maybe this one


(3 speed fixed cyclocross generator hub equipped path racer townie?)

though if we are sticking with mostly modern, I love my daily rider


crecord cranks, campy bmx ring, eai cog, thompson post, brooks swift, zipp hubs, araya adx 510 rims, cinelli cockpit.
i always try to keep the classics in mind when putting together a build.

How about a masterpiece of what's considered a street ride. Like an NJS frame with a hed3 & risers. Or a pista concept tarck build. People will look back in 300 years and say, "track bikes on the street? How novel!"
