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)

It's interesting that you upgraded the cranks but didn't upgrade the pedals. I found those stock pedals to be absolutely terrible... and I still think picking up a decent set of pedals was the best upgrade I did to my Motobecane Track when I was still riding it.

Looks good, though!! What bars are those?

Well, I had to upgrade the cranks because the old ones stripped, so I had no choice. Pedals are on the list too, I forgot to say that . The bars are FSA Compact Wing Pro.

I'm playing it safe :-P. I threw out my back riding too hard and since then I've felt the desire to have a bit more comfort.

lame iPhone pic again. What can I say, I'm a sucker for selective focus.



Also, I'm drunk. My girlfriend is at work and I have no homework. I would do bad, bad things to the SRSLY up there.

Cool bike. One of the nicer murdered out builds I've seen. But please get wider bars. It's just plain dangerous. Would love to see more photos too.

Do ET! I'm planning on painting the frame at some point so it won't stay SRSLY for ever. I can pretty much make it say anything... RLY or ORLY might be nice.

I see. The bars looked narrower than they actually are.

I say you just got added to a DEA watchlist. I like those cranks, what are they? Do the B43s feel sluggish? (Is that the set from velomine?) Good looking bike.
