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)

The only way I'd ever ride a white chain is on a 100% ghosted bike.

Nah, I'm perfectly happy with my conversion. At least I got rid of the color splash tape.

Could never stoop to that low of doing that to my conversion.

Found this today: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/bik/2459850811.html

I guess it's not absolutely terrible, but I think there is at least some jackass to it.

My guess is it is steel, 22.0mm round track blades.

Straight blades get "meh" IMO, though.

Would probably look a "bit" better with a fork that it's legs would match the thickness of the seat stays.

But why use steel on such an expensive carbon frame?

I'd love to have a Trek junior frame with 24" wheels and a 1000mm seatpost! Previous owner obviously wasn't diggin' the saddle to bar drop.

Looks like a steel affinity fork to me.
