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)

Hello everyone!

Hey everyone, i'm new to the forum and would just like to say hello. I recently finished building my first bike/six speed out of my grandpa's old road bike, and i have a schwin street bike i use for school. I'll get some pictures of em up once i take them.

I also had a quick question for you guys. Since im pretty new to the bike market, i was wondering what sites you guys like to guy parts from.

Welcome.
Just a heads up, most of the people here are sarcastic *******s much like myself so don't take much to heart.
As far as OBS (online bike shops) my preferred one is Bens Cycle, but i never buy from them online as they are also my LBS (local bike shop) and i just get what i need directly from the store.
Now get those pictures up.
