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)

Sorry, I thought this was the "What don't you like about my stolen bike" thread. My bad.

When I was in college I had a badass 20" Hoffman, when he first started making bikes. It was amazing, like a prototype or something I was able to acquire when I was wrenching at a shop in Tucson.

I left it ulocked one night outside my place, came out, an the bars and seat/post were gone. Went in to get my key to bring it inside, came back out, wheels and fork were gone. Then I went in to call the police, and when I came back out, the whole bike was missing.

So I filed a report, and 3 weeks later I was doing community service at the Tucson zoo and saw some effing punk cruising on my now *******ized 20". He was a 13 year old pre pubescent boy with his fishing pole. I caught him gave him the option to hand it over and walk away, but he kept insisting "he bought it in california", so I had him arrested.

At the end of the day, all the high end parts were sold and the kid replaced them with bull**** wall mart crap, and even then, the bike was returned to me frame only with a massive dent in the top tube from popping the u-lock. I then turned around and sold it for $300 to sucker I knew.

Just keep your head up dude, it'll probably turn up.

Funny, I was just in London earlier this week. Unfortunately, I left the 20th, so it couldn't have been me.
