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)

The amount of ridiculous threads being started is, well, ridiculous.

How many posts should a newb make before being able to start a new thread?

Yeah even as a fairly new member myself I've only made the mistake of making one pointless thread. I've begane to notice the amount of pointless threads recently.
