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?

OT: Lets all be friends.

Okay, so in an effort to be more constructive and not contribute to the evo's work- I say we all just be friends. Internet forum arguments are inconsequential, as this thread will probably be, but if you guys are frustrated, I hear riding your bike alleviates stress . I'm kinda new here, and this sub forum has bequeathed to me a lot of useful knowledge about ssfg... I mean I can't think of anything off the top of my head- but it's there. The old posters who shall remain unnamed provided some useful insight and lots of hilarity- and though I may disagree with some people on brakeless fg riding, or brooks saddles, or even which entry level fg is the best (pista, pants down) I think we can all remain civil and constructive.

(Even if humor within the bounds of tact is hard, we can make an effort right?)

Anyways-

Hi, I'm Carlo, I like FG biking I own 2 fg bikes, a schwinn conversion and a makino and a geared frankenbike which I plan on selling. I hope to buy my brother a really nice bike for his high school graduation, maybe a custom NJS bike or a nice road bike (I promised him something really nice if he got into UVA or UCLA). I condone brakeless riding (within the bounds of reason), I hate when people ride opposite traffic, and I think brook's saddles are the greatest thing to touch my bottom since my ex-gf Luisa.

Let's be friends!

A post that's actually about a bicycle will be a relief.

I mean that I didn't want to add more reported posts to your work. Not that you aren't constructive.

Just came back from test riding my new bike... it has gears.

It is number 13 but I think it will be lucky.

And I found a version of Kumbaya this bunch of hooligans might just enjoy.
