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 like it. Consider a smaller chainring and knoblier tires to have any real fun in the dirt though.

Hi-ten is a deal-breaker.

Looks like it has fender eyelets.

What's wrong with hi-ten steel? I don't know much about frame quality.

A hand full of disc brake will send you over the bars so fast. Better have that thing really dialed in so you don't nose dive.

Definitely. Still looks badass though. I wonder: what it weighs, what it costs.

looks like it would be better as an ss mtb. Probably mad heavy, but who gives a sh*t.

EDIT: the biggest question: How much does it cost???

i've had my iro, with dual hydraulic disc brakes, better steel frame, much better wheels, and overall more useful bike listed for not much more on craigslist and have had zero interest in it. maybe i just need to take off the rear brake and put on a fixed cog for it to be popular haha
