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)

It says $150 in the title and then $1150 in the body... ummm?

WTF is with those bars?

Fixed gear look a like bike? So it's meant to just look like a fixed gear but isn't actually a fixed gear?

No, it's actually a "fixed gear" cuz since it's no got them shifter thangs, it's just stuck (aka fixed) in one gear. capiche?

I cut this bike loose with cable cutters, I was caught in the act, Boston Police were notified (call district one office), I claimed it was MY bike. In case it is not, here's what I look like.
