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 think my buddy took pix of it, I ain't sure b/c I was in a daze, drooling all over myself at all of James' rides.

Off topic but what bars are those on the bike on the first page? (I would have copied the pic but BF is being lame and kept giving me an error message).
