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)

why would you need a bike to jump of a 9 foot wall? and 9 foot isnt even firstfloor.

I love my urban assault MTB. Great bar cruiser. I'd ride it more but my fixie is soooo much faster.

Good to see it's been edited. I'm still thinking I'm going to convert my MTB to SS one of these day....you know, when I have cash. Nine feet I couldn't do, though - my balls aren't quite that big.

I'm thinking 9 foot drops wouldn't help in that department.

Ugh, I've seen that picture before, and never wanted to see it again! Looking at it makes parts I don't even have hurt.

(thanks for the edit, sohi!)
