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'm serious. 35 bucks isn't a good deal if it has a fever.

Nitto RB 009 and a KMC z410 black. Oh, and a BB lockring to make a suicide hub (to be used with brakes).

The "Levin" is a great headset and a great value. I would have just gotten the ISO version and if my fork turned out to be JIS, mill it down to ISO. There's a lot more ISO options down the road than there are JIS.

Just bought some aerobars for $35 new at the LBS. Don't even know what brand they are . Should be fun though.
