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)

'Cause homey just dropped $8500 on a sweet pair of Nike Mags, and if you think he's getting them dirty running on the ground, son, you're mistaken.

Harrumph! I guess I'll just have to order a Big Block off of Amazon, get it re-painted, then light $1500 dollars on fire.

Also, I know the maps often place AK in a little box off the coast of southern CA, but we are technically part of the continental US, what with us being firmly attached to the North American continent and all.

True, but it confuses me as to why he has Phils, Campy, and 3TTT on it.

Seriously. I have 3ttt, Nitto, Cinelli and Campy in my parts bin and I'd totally build and ride that.

You know, sometimes you get a nice frame, but don't have all the parts on hand to build a fully geared ride. Still, that nice frame is sitting there, begging to be ridden. My vote is build it how you can, then ride it. WTF is the problem?

Could've had a nice fixed wheelset on-hand. Stranger things have happened.
