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)

Duel delema?

So I have decided that my money is either spent on a new Bob Jackson frame or airfare to Amsterdam to see Tom Waits. You see the FIX I am in.

Yeah I know, but I have never been to Amsterdam and I am one that would kind of like Amsterdam. Wink, Wink. Plus I would have to wait untill winter to get my frame. Ok Ignore this all I have made my choice. Sorry to have to go through this in front of you all.

Amsterdam and all its perks will be there in years to come as well. Buy the bob jackson, some fancy herbs I'm sure you can find around there somewhere, and get a call girl and replace all the lightbulbs in your house with red bulbs. Mix some hooch in there, you won't remember the difference, but when it all wears off, you'll still have a gorgeous bike, just in time for the nice riding season next year.

Tom Waits. He rarely tours and the chance to see him in Amsterdam is probably pretty rare. The bike frame can be acquired at another time.

FYI- caught the new Waits single on the radio last night. Pretty good. Can't wait for the album to come out

Thats the best advice I've heard given out in a long time, I might just have to do that this weekend.

...Only without the Bob Jackson.
