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)

Alright, I'll agree to wait until it's done to see the whole thing.

That's a 700x22c tubular; I'm assuming clearance is 700x25c max; oh yea, since we're talking about the fork, what's dat? 30mm rake on a roadie??? Oh you bet.

Except all black. These feel awesome. I was waiting for the Retro-Gression ones to come back in stock but finally gave in and I just checked the site and they are in stock lol oh well next time.


Makes centering my wheel so easy.


Gave in to Adriano's "dislikes" and bought a silver cage and put my black one on my Super Le Tour townie which was cageless anyways so it worked out.


Inspired to finally make myself learn to true my own wheels instead of asking my friends.
