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)

That's a MW Sanction, only comes in one size if I recall correctly.

agreed Mumonka but... My bag that just broke actually had those type of hooks and they never once came undone. As long as the female end is snug the hook and pressure are plenty to hold them shut. Thats actually why I wanted the MW bag but I couldn't justify the extra 100 since I got this bag for 100.

53t New Old Stock Shimano chainring, £25 off eBay.
My 48t that came with the bike was just too small ^.^
Oh, and some wall hooks to mount the bike to the wall.

I absolutely hated those tires. Installing them was a complete nightmare and one of them blew right off my front rim while I was taking a fast corner.

You could probably rig something together with aluminum foil and Pepsi bottlecaps.

The Sanction by Mission Workshop. It's a little more than your budget but worth the extra $30 IMO.

Ahh, gotcha.

Would the Fitzeroy (bigger brother of the Sanction) be an option? Found this used one (Bay Area) for a good price: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/3327342250.html

You want to look at the Chrome Ivan or the Chrome Pawn.

The Ivan will hold 49L and the Pawn holds 37L. The Pawn can be had for 159.99 shipped on ebay. Also there is supposedly a sale coming up soon for both companies. But its more secretive than Tupacs retirement gig, so good luck.

edit: OHh yea pick up that Fitzroy craiglist buy, that's a great looking bag.
