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)

Just get the DP-18 rims and don't worry about them. Trust me, you'll grow to hate them soon enough and wish you just went with CXP22s instead. I know I am. You may look at the weight and think the difference is nothing, but you really feel it after a while. Also they (deep v rims in general) lose their allure after about a month, or at least they will if you're anything like me.

Very nice. I added it up today because of this thread, and $729 is just about what I spent building up this thing:



Granted, I know how to shop around, and half the bike is NOS or clearance, but a vintage bike like that is still a better deal.

Then again, who would wanna lock something like that up? Looks mint condition.
