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 like universal cycles, benscycles/milwakee bicycles, and jensonusa.

for obscure parts i will search around. bicycleparts.com came through with a properly sized goldfinger for me, case in point.

Check out bmx mailorder websites. A lot of the components overlap from ss/fixed to bmx. Dan's Comp for example

mmm, not all kinds of components. for example, bmx tensioners don't fit around many track fork ends.

that said, danscomp guys are super helpful and awesome.
