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)

You're also a ****** lacking a more constructive way to spend your time than creating fake posts with the intent of getting people riled up on an internet forum.

Go ride your bike (if you even have one).

Why would I need the original pedals when I can put better pedals on...

Besides...it's not like the pedals came with the crankset, you had to buy them separately.

Why are you so obsessed with pedals?

what makes you think I am obsessed with pedals? I asked one time. there are none pictured, not necessarily a given that you didn't have them. I'm sorry I can't read between the lines.

You don't need them... I know people who do... I happen to know two people searching for AX pedals at the moment and thought I'd ask.

The original pedals could bring a bit of $$... at least enough to buy some better hubs for such a nice frame

my apologies for asking a serious question and momentarily derailing your hilarious thread. Continue.

I'm sorry man. I've been getting bombarded with questions about the pedals, I thought your avatar looked familiar. I've had to stress several times now that these pedals have the adapter that allow me to use any pedals I want. Several people have said I'm basically screwed because the crankset only takes a specific kind of pedal and it was starting to get irritating. My apologies.

I can get you in touch with a person that some dura ace AX pedals.

Just convert it already. Hand-paint it with satin latex paint, throw some crappy, heavy 1-piece BMX cranks on there and flip the drops upside-down...homeless guy style.

maybe you can put toilet rolls as pedals. then not only do you have a lighter bike, you also have spares in case of emergency dioreah! (or jizzing your pants)does that bike give you a nice fit though? I always thought trolls were a little short..

It's not really much of a troll if he, ya know, tells people he's trolling ON THE FIRST PAGE.

Dont be sorry, if stateing my opinion makes me a troll then a troll I am, but I guess it makes everone else a troll too, so Im amongst my kind. Now, if I took/read this wrong, scratch all of the above.

I was just having a bit of fun. My god, you people are sensitive little women.

Anyway, I road it for the first time today. I totally smoked my 4 year old niece. Left that midget in the dust...She was all out of breathe and ****.

She didn't cry like you guys though.

Jesus. Do ppl in this forum really not know what a troll is? To troll is to try an illicit an anticipated response. Like when someone asks if he should convert a really nice road bike. He knows everyone is going to say "NO YOU %R*&$*($& IDIOT!!". Becuase a couple people DID respond in that way, he was successful in his attempt to troll. He is the troll, not you. UNDERSTAND???

GODUGR8---no one is crying. You are just annoying.

You may have "totally smoked" your four year old niece riding your make-believe road bike, but I bet anything her spelling/grammar skills are much better than yours.
