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)

Renovo's got some nice ones too, even if they are pretty gimmicky.

A freaky hippie-type university student has one that he's made in my town...I think he even plays polo with it...
Just from observing him riding it, I can say with some certainty that alignment seems to be an issue with his frame...
But he made it himself so I must give him respect...
Would I take it for a test ride?
...no.
