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)

With the bars nearly level to the seat? Is there some theory of aerodynamics that explains that? If you are being motor paced is the efficiency worth it? Thanks for the links Dan.

Aerodynamics aren't really an issue as you are drafting a motorcycle. The body positioning is for maximum output.
