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)

NO. Your chain doesn't look like that because you're killing your drivetrain by running your tension to tight.

OK...I'll throw my SS in the loop. Early '60s Rollfast Mustang - older than many of the members of this forum : ) Although classified as a "foldable", it actually detaches into 2 separate parts.

you know I'm new here and appreciate the SSFG Pic thread but, they're right it is all FG pics. The SS bike is slightly different and I like looking at both. Cheers to the SS Pic thread.
