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)

Bikes: Are faster than yours.

Amazing what pops up on ebay - I'd almost want it on the wall more than I'd want to ride it.

just use LView Pro to screenshot the image. Done.
And FYI Schiek, you should really try using a contraction like "who's" instead of "whose"...kind of like your correction of "break" vs. "brake."

Not that it matters at all, but I'd rather View Source every once in a while than deal with a lesser UI and lesser site compatibility every day. Maybe he should just set up htaccess instead of using javascript that only does what it's supposed to do if the viewers are lazy.
