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?

yeah, those khs aeros are sweet. I still don't know why they stopped making the angled top tube- the old orange flite 100's are easily 65% cooler than the new ones.

To small for me, 56 is just too small. Smallest possible is a 58, 60 bieng OK.

It's been there for at least 5 years. They will probably cut a deal of some kind if asked.

haha!! i know that frame! every time i go used to go in there, it was ALWAYS there, in the same place (on a stand with a few other frames right by the door). they're pretty hot bikes.

a messenger friend of mine has one that's just the raw aluminum, set up with a 650c front and a basket...and some older either suntour or sugino cranks. oh and she has the kinesis airfoil fork on it (which she got from me for $15, which i got from chuck's for $15)...so basically, all the tubes on the bike are really thick and aero looking. it's a sweet setup...a bit hard to ride due to front wheel/pedal overlap, but still really sweet.

You do realize that it's an AL frame you just said was nice. Right?

They moved it towards the back. I had a friend named HUTCH that had one of those things. They are fun looking but not for me.

What *hic* ever. You liked the bike, it's AL, get over with it and your bad self.

The ride stiff, faster than can be.

And didn't you say you'd type quietly?
