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)

Got an email saying it was out of stock :/ They had a color called "world champion" on the competitive cyclist site so I switched to that. They didn't have a picture but I'm pretty sure it will look pretty much the same.

New tires and chain, my current tires and chain are showing their use. Figured I'd try out some Continental tires(City Rides) since they were on sale and its hard to deny such a name. Decided to stick with the trusted KMC K710SL.

Finally found an appropriate, reasonably-priced, Campagnolo 1/8" chainring for my vintage Ron Stout track bike:



and some vintage tires for the same (they are for display only, will not be glued or ridden):

got these two sizes larger for layering socks on those really cold days. somewhat narrow through the arch, but the toebox is -roomy-. very pleased.
