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)

Kalkhoff...worth a build?
Yeah, just got a hold of an old Kalkhoff frame. Wondering if it is a decent frame, I don't really know anything about it. There is a faint Columbus sticker on it so maybe the dropouts are Columbus (I know they are forged and not stamped) At the moment I have a ____ty Peugeot frame for my fixed, but thinking the Kalkhoff will be better....Any input would be good...

Bikes: 2 roadies, 7 fixed-gears, 1 hardtail, 1 full suspension mtb, and 1 hybrid...so far.

All bikes are better off as a fixed-gear.

yeah, horizontal, for sure. But I wanted to know if anyone knew about Kalkhoff frames at all?
