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)

deep rims + skinny steel, rusted too much exposed silver seatpost, flying spaghetti monster lock on bars, trick fork + trick straps/pedals when it looks like a commuter, white machined deep v looks out of place, random stuff on front rack, striped spacers?

Yup. I agree with you. I'm still saving up for some sram omnium crank. Or just get a SRAM s100

Forte axis; you can find them for cheap at performance bicycle. If you're interested, I have a new in box uncut one on hand for a build that never happened, that I can let go for cheap. Give me your email if you're interested and we'll talk privately.

EDIT:they're sold out until june.
