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)

Nice Wabi! I came super close to ordering one of those, but opted for the Mash because of the geometry. Looks like you got it spec'd with some pretty light components. Let us know how you like it after you get some miles!

Two Tone Paint job took about 2 Weeks and lots of patience


Loved getting all the parts in the mail






All Finished. Eighth Inch Crankset, Origin 8 Pedals, MKS Clips and Straps, Brooks B17 Saddle, random Japanese 21.1mm Quill Stem (hardest thing to find), "Nitto Like" Mustache Bars, Bianchi Pista Rims




Guess why they call them Mustache Bars
Beautiful montage of your gorgeous conversion! Absolutely love the classic color scheme with the moustache bar. Thanks for the pics!

Just converted this, SS. Want to ditch the brake levers and get a top lever instead, maybe bullhorns. This bike seriously does everything right. It's been raced road, cyclocross, had full touring gear on it with bar end shifters, and now this. 50/16 gearing is tough on some hills, but not unbearable.

For some reason my friend said my bike looks REALLY big on the stand.



And here's one on my new Thule rack which I love. No more frame carrying on the trunk.
