A real fixed gear book?
Maybe this is old news, but I just found out about it. Amazon has it for around 16 bucks.

I have the book and I'm halfway through it. It's nice to have a book that consists of more than just photos, but it probably won't tell you anything you don't know already.

That's what I figured. I ordered it last night and figure it'll be cool to have. It looks like it's well done.

I googled motorpacing. I still don't get it. What's up with the saddle? And the smaller front wheel? AND the fork that looks like a backwards road fork?
I'm not 100% clueless when it comes to bikes (more like 70%) and I've never seen a fork or seat like that.

Yeah, that bike is legit. I don't think I'd be too keen on riding it on the street, but legit nonetheless.

STAYER - used from around 1894 to describe the bicycle racer who competed in paced
(human and motor) events, and was able to 'stay' at high speed
for long periods.
scruggle beat me to it...

You know, I was sort of thinking it could of been something like that, but then thought... nah that's too ridiculous. Learn something new everyday. I'm gonna set up my traveler conversion like that and get a 65t chainring for a 65/17 ratio that way I can race people in cars.
Or bust my ass.

That bike is the sole reason I'm considering buying this book.
