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)

Bikes: Too many bikes, too little time to ride

they look funny (in general, not just on a FG), but serve a purpose. i've toyed with the idea of adding them to one of my bikes, but in the end, i'd rather have the negligible weight savings without them.
