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)

I'm a Drexel guy but I'm not taking classes right now. But why are you just looking for college kids?

Anyway I've been thinking about getting a ride goin. We had one last spring but nothing since then. I'm up for anything in nights or weekends.

I'll be back at Drexel this coming Monday. I commute, but I'll be taking my bike down some Tuesdays and Thursdays. Now let's stop talking about Drexel before it makes me sick.

I go to Drexel too. Judging from the bikes I see parked on campus, I think there are a relatively large number of people at Drexel that ride fixed (compared to other schools).

OOPS. It isnt brown - it is yours I am talking about. You showed it off in the dark outside the copshop when I had been drinking a few weeks back. I ended up drinking more. That is a beautiful bike - I wish my bike was made by Socialists.
