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've seen this bike twice before (both times in the rain) and HAD to take a picture this time. In case you're wondering, it isn't SS. Please note the lack of foot retention, cute fanny pack, awkward brake lever, QR front wheel, horrendous bar tape job, and yeah, the ground was frozen solid. enjoy.
