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 sorry walter, did you mean create a post that serves as a database for the said parts? Or something else? And if "collaborate a database" has some other definition then please explain because I sort of don't get that.

Yea good point. Speaking of which, I'll make it a point not to post "forum shaping" threads anymore.

This is one of the funniest, most ironic threads I have read! I can't believe that you are trying to stop noobs from getting insulted then you yourself get insulted. I couldn't stop laughing.

Then when I read this:
Oh, about that hehe...well it's still kind of a road bike (sorry!) And plus I'm still debating on whether I should convert that (which I kinda don't want to do, being a noob and all) or buy a track bike (which I have no money for) so you have any suggestions on what I should do?..just kidding. but seriously I'm still debating and don't actually ride FG yet. Yes you can clown on my dumbass for that.
I just about spit out the water I was drinking.

Don't set out to buy a track bike. Find something comfortable that you can ride for a few hours straight if required. I can't imagine hardcore aggressive geo is to comfortable for the long commute (not that I know first hand). And if it ends up being a fixie than fine. If the bike you like and are comfortable on has gears that's good too.

Then f_ing stop it already. You might need your own blog so people can write only about you and not have any extraneous comments about bikes to clutter things up.

My post made you realized it failed? Ha! I think it happened somewhere on page one. Maybe the first or second post. We have to give you a hard time.
