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)

So I am finally done with modding (for now)! Easton EC90 XC flat bar, Brooks Flyer saddle, Zefal mudguard and (not pictured) Shimano SPD pedals.

And before the lock police comes in yelling, the bike was locked like that for a few minutes, and I was less than 15 feet away from it the entire time. Had other u-lock at hand... just in case.
Purple looks nice, Pink was cute.

You should do teal next time or a type of blue,

leader has been ordering full production runs without testing so you end up with frames like that.

It's a V2. The rear wheel can get in a little closer but not as close as on the 2011 model.

Who was this directed at? Nothing posted before this comment even seemed very controversial.

I haven't decided my final gear ratio yet so I'm leaving room incase I want to swap back to a 19. I guess I could slam it in closer but then it feels like it'll be a pain to change my tube.
