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)

Ouch!!

Still, looks like only the frame and forks are destined for the scrapper. Front wheel might need a true, but the rest should be good to put on a new frame.

You mean that first picture isn't the "after" shot? I thought he did a masterful job putting the downtube back together with an old inner-tube.

Note to Trekkie820: I'm joking.
