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)

I hear the tend to prefer habitats with high levels of rare earth metals, natural rubbers and CNT's.

Watch out, because they tend to prey on hungry, weakened, large mammals.

I'm planning on getting one of those saddles too! It's a good thing we don't live anywhere near each other or we might actually mistake our bikes for one anothers.

$10.99 for 4 pairs man, pretty awesome deal. They're crew style though.

New Veeps for the naranja

Got these from Velomine for only $110, about the same price as DP18s. Velocity on Redline branded hubs. They sell the same wheels on Formula branded hubs for $180.

Nah, I'm leaving the front brake on, but I hardly ever use it so I figure it won't mess up the rim.
