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)

what's this, a rear brake? going to try SS offroad, found it difficult to clear logs / rocks riding fixed - it was hard getting the pedals in the right position to get up & over obstacles.

Built my first completly from scratch bike today, so stoked on how it came out. Still a couple minor adjustments to make but damn its fun, especially when you put every single little part together. Handlebars are a $3 temp pair, looking for a cheap flat bar. Need some better pictures as well...

Slowly converting to my beater / bar bike!





Bars and grips for $8! I already have my bullhorns back on, but these will be good bars for fun themed group rides around the city and such.

considering it was never sharp to begin with, i say whatever. make it smaller resolution so it's not so easy to see the noise(doesn't bother me anyway) and no one would be on you about it. the bike is rad and if you're not going to have a sharp photo, at least you have an interestingly backlit and overexposed one. i like it for what it is.

yeah that's as good as it's going to get. i liked it just fine before though.

chris- you have a road bike now right? a t1 is a great bike for group rides but it's a little too nice for a bar bike methinks. my trek mountain track 820 is my bar bike.

yup, m13 to formula. i was trying to go for as classic of a look as i could, besides the pedals of course. wanted something i could use with any type of shoe.

i like the drops for now, but i want to try out a flat bar and see how i like it. what i should really do is find another pair of cinelli drops to match the stem

finally completed.

all the parts I've wanted to replace have been. This is how she'll sit from here on out. Maybe a different front wheel. MAYBE.

Hope you guys enjoy it! Now, time to work on the concept.

Or alternatively was the foreground underexposed and you brightened it extensively in post processing?

Either way I'm left with the burning question, why was the rail lit unevenly? Did you have an off camera flash or a reflector? The day light is from the oposite direction...

SO CONFUSED
