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)

Alrighty, I ordered some in the more 'interesting' colours. E-Mail me if you want some, only selling in pairs, and they ain't particularly cheap so no whingers.

I have multiple students here in Korea, cute little girls, who come in every day with necklaces with swastika pendants. Unfortunately tainted by the Nazis, its a symbol with a hell of a lot more history and significance than most people realize or care to notice.

Yeah, all those Chevrolet Impala Super Sports were "nazi clown cars" too. FAIL.

NS Germany had some awesome style. Ya'll got me excited. Its just a tire with a styled letter on it. BFD.

I figured for all the ruckus about this thread there would at least be swastika tread tires or something.
