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 does the fork have fender mounts but not the frame? Makes no sense to me.

the real question is what do you think? do you like orange? do you like oury's? do you like cut bars? answer yes to any or all and you have a winner. I have oury's and chopped bars. I have blue though, but they're getting pretty black. I might switch back to bar tape sometime soon.

It came with Sugino 170mm crank. Not bad. The guy told me that this was the 1st edition of republic bikes. Not sure if the new ones come with the same crank
