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 dont know if its because I put it on wrong or if that's just the way it is. I took it off an old mountain bike and desperately need a new one.

There's a gigantic brick wall here (the backside of an old industrial/whatever complex) facing the train tracks where graffiti is allowed. It's kinda cool because it's always changing. This pic of my old Madison was taken there:

Some of it looks cool, some of it looks like ****. And you have to wonder about gang affiliation, ect.

I'd say that in most cases it just makes the place look trashy. The pic scrod posted is one of the few exceptions, and its probably because its a 'legal spot' that attracts people with actuall skill instead of degenerate punks who just want to vandalise or lay down their "gang" sign.

If it's painted on the side of a church built in the 1600s or a quaint little downtown cafe? Sure, it's trashy. On the side of a train bridge or dilapidated industrial building? Most times it adds character to something that was already ugly to begin with.

Arsenal down by the riverfront in STL has a massive amount of graffiti. Some of the stuff is impressive even to an unappreciative eye.

Connor, that was taken in-between Loveland and Ft. Collins, CO. Solo ride while jamming out to Jethro Tull.

I somehow missed the word "old" the first time around, saw drops, brakes and a schwinn in scrod's picture and thought the food poisoning really changed things around here

I'd wanted two things recently, to ride single-speed around town for a while rather than fixed and to build my first set of wheels. I ended up putting this together to scratch those itches:





Excuse the lazy-ass pics. It's an old Manucycles (Manufrance) Vitus 181 frame, not the original fork I believe as it had an old external-nut brake mount I had to drill. My simple cheap wheel build is a set of Open Pro I picked up in a sale on Novatec hubs. Paselas complete them. The rest is a rather minty Sugino Mighty Competition track crankset, Sugino 68 BB, Sylvans, 3ttt up front with Chorus levers and RX100 brakes I had lying around.

So far so good, my wheels haven't exploded, the frame is light and stiff and the sun is actually out so I get to ride it happily - I think my last three builds I completed it rained for days after they were done
