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)

Yeah. Don't make that little jump up the scale. Save and get a real bike. The merciers and the windsors are entry-level, trash bikes IMO.

Thanks for the compliment. The top protector is done with simple vinyl tapes of various colors. The saddle is SLR 125 that I had laying around from a previous bike. Sadly, I don't ride it much anymore.
