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)

the mavics were listed in US size. the size they show seems to be dependent on the shoe. I was going to get the pro shoe if they wouldn't honor the $119 price that I missed out on earlier in the week, but they were cool with it. Just wish they came in black, but the pros didn't have black in my size either so white it is!

and I wish they'd stop with those bright yellow shoes

Awesome. Might even spring for the Huez next time it pops up - the more ventilated, the better in this country.

yeah I saw they just went up heh, almost wish I had known that but I guess $120 is about where I should cap off for my first pair anyway.

you should just call them and ask them if you can grab them anyway, worst they can say is no!

Hi, guys, I was anger with my parent last week, and rode my bicycle uncourteously, and due to the absence of mind i broke my Kickstand ultimately.
Browsing through the Youtube and came across the video:youtube
this video may be good help for me after my purchasing kickstand, i google"Aluminum Bicycle Kickstand" to find out some results about it.
my only "must need" is the acreage should be large enough,(if it brings some disadvantages,i may think over for one which refered in the video) now i wish that someone here would give me some advice about them:kickstand and bicycle kickstand
any ideas should be good. thanks in advanced.
I mean i will go to it and i don't want some source from the ebay, i have bad experience there though.
