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)

Hi everybody!

My first post here (sorry about the poor pics, not exactly riding weather in Sweden yet).

Here is my '10 Trek District, with its new Brooks Flyer saddle. I'm waiting for an Easton EC90 XC flat bar to arrive, as the stock bar flexes too much when climbing.

^^^^ Oh wow,... you have my dream bike (well dream SS). Have you ridden it much? (I know you just said the weather was pretty poor) Just wondering if that belt drive is all its cracked up to be?... Look great with the Brooks... had you gone with the grey/orange combo I would have said to go with something a bit more sporty.

I was going to post a picture of what your bike makes me think of but googling "WW2 pinup girl" is something I now regret doing at work.

Thanks for the kind words, guys! The belt drive is a dream for someone like me, who is not a greasemonkey. It is silent and needs virtually no maintenance. The gearing is perfect for climbing, coasting and anything else. With my Shimano SPD no hill has yet conquered me!

It works perfectly in bad weather, it's just that I don't.

BTW, I am a moderator at www.trekdistrict.com/forum, where you can find hundreds of District bikes for your viewing pleasure. The Easton arrived today!

i love what you are doing with the red ritchey bits but i think you need to get a red saddle to complete that. i suggest [the impossible find, of course] a red flite ti.

Disagree, red back tire. Then, done. Well, accept for the carbon clinchers.

I would like to get a red saddle, but I have this Selle Litespeed ti saddle that I just can't not use! Maybe I could have it re wrapped in red...

How about wrapping the bars in black tape/getting black grips just for the drops, getting the carbon clinchers and then get some red/black tires?
