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)

white track grips would have set it off nicely!

i saw a kid running makeshift wood bars crafted from a home depot dowel. i hope it becomes super fashionable.

Purple chain is failing on the Colnago. That bike is clearly just a fashion accessory. Big value parts and frame with a cheap ass chain because its plum crazy purple.

That Presto is gorgeous. If only the owner had bought a roll of Tressostar to finish the bars off with... Fifty-dollar top-tube guard, missing three dollars of bar-covering material.

Just my personal opinion, but I think the front wheel would look better with the NJS-typical 4-cross lacing as well.

Agreed. Looks like a design school experiment.

i'm sure the frame is nice, but wooden bars are ridiculous.
