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 know you hipsters think that too-small frames are cool, but that is ridiculous.

There will be an avalanche of bad jokes, having to do with swapping parts.

If you go over to the "Catch of teh Day" thread in teh C&V forum, there is a guy who picked up a Pinarello Treviso CX bike with a full Shimano 600 group for $1.

Bikes: 2005 Specialized Sirrus Hybrid, Unpedigreed steel frame fixie conversion (Force Disorder Pump), Pugeot UO9 fixed conversion (Red Menace). Lots of parts scattered about garage.

If that was upped to 1:1 scale, the cable housing would be thicker than a garden hose.

I saw one of those in a watch shop at the mall.
I asked the manager to sell it to me and he said it was for display only.
I offered him $50 cash (to see if he would bite) and he refused.
Nice find. I'll give you $20 for it....
