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 grew up with an elderly mormon couple across the street from me who had a guest house for missionaries. every couple of weeks we would have those jackasses come and try to convert us. they all look the same...dark slacks, white collard shirt, nametag, backpack, nicely cropped hair, cruising around on their dept store mtn bikes...

Lift up they skirt and look for the knee length panties. Or look for a CTR (choose the right) ring.

I'm a mormon gone bad.

The only other foreign people I've seen in the town that I work in are two mormon dudes. I always bump into them on the street and we give each other the foreigner nod. Nobody has tried to convert me yet but I guess thats cause theyre after the Koreans.

edit: this thread is pure gold

Serious multiple lolage from this thread. Good stuff all around, especially the lauging at mormons stuff, but here's the winner:

Keep an eye out for large quantities of caffeinated soft drinks early in the morning. Seriously, who drinks a 64oz Mountain Dew with breakfast? Mormons do, that's who.

I thought mormons couldn't have caffeine. Or is that Jehova's Witnesses?

It's advised against, but not forbidden. Coffee is expressly prohibited, hence the large quantities of mt dew instead of coffee.

True. Mormon rebels drink caffeinated soda; they think they're all bad ass.
Also, Mormons say "oh my heck" instead of "oh my God", and also "gahl!"
And they LOVE black people who are good at sports.

I downgraded to the in house soma hellyer/andel crankset because I figure it's ******** to get such a nice crank for road use in the rain etc.

Another smart move. Your cranks are practically the last component to care if its raining. Maybe you should cancel your whole order and try again.

Why don't the Mormons realize that Diet Pepsi actually has more caffeine than Mt. Dew?

Do your soda homework, you damned Mormons.

Well that and it's overkill for my use, and It will be locked up for long periods and having a 250 dollar crank to entice crooks isn't really my cup of tea. Already had my car stolen so no need for my bike too...

A cheaper crank is a wise decision in my opinion. The idea that you need Sugino 75s for general riding is hard for me to accept. If you want them, fine, but I think there are better places to spend the money.
