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)

Hack off the braze ons just to piss off self appointed rule makers on the internet who you will never meet.

If you read the OP, I clearly say the rules are actually suggestions. A suggestion is not "telling people" anything, it is merely a suggestion.

I don't think people get "pissed off" when they see things ground off high end vintage frames. I think they get disappointed and confused.

Pictures are fine. they will make the thread more enjoyable.

The whole point of a forum is discussion. I'm glad your discussing. Nobody is telling you to shut up.
