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)

When I first read it I thought he said damaged hubs for some reason. But yes the penny farthing is rad.

Is $269 a good deal for a new Sugino 75 48t crankset? Seems to be pretty cheap.

How bad is this "rust?" on an aluminum frame? Is it worth even making an effort? https://sandiego.craigslist.org/ssd/bik/3323327185.html

I wonder if that crankset is original? That BCD looks really small for track stuff...

Who cares? I'd pay $500 for that frameset alone.

SKS Raceblade fenders. black. Fair-ish condition. Rear fender is a little bent. missing one mounting piece. Replacements can be bought online. - $15


should i bother with these? how essential is their little mounting strappys? (im assuming a zip tie would be equally effective)
would i be able to bend it back with some hair dryer persuasion?
