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'd never be able to buy one across the sea. ... Bah!

If that makes sense.

I get it, I just think it's more trouble than what it's worth. If you go through with it and make it look good, then more power to you
