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)

The Kilo is in!

Got my Mercier Kilo TT today (along with soma bars from Scrod). Threw it together, and its ready to go. Although, i dont have the proper tip for my bike pump to fill up the tubes, so im going out to get one. Other than that im really excited. Im running both brakes for now, and then once i get used to it, ill take of the back, and keep the front just incase.

its a 60cm frame

Congrats Pat!

Please (for all of our sake) MAKE SURE your cog/lockring are tightened properly and post some damn pics!

Brake cable and housing is too long. You need to cut it down.
