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)

Visps seem rather elusive. Every time I ebay them I can never find them, yet on occasion someone will post a link. But yeah, I'd like a visp.

They are rather elusive. cc700 gave me a link to this eBay seller:

https://stores.ebay.com/cycoole

I would get the trxnl-2. That's what cc bought.

There's a black 725 with phil veep wheelset that's always locked around campus back in SD. HE doesn't appear nervous at all about it.

Me too. I live at home and go to school so I don't have many expenses and been living off my job I had last summer. But that just won't cut it for all the expensive bike parts I crave... and the other bikes I want... and the girls I gotta take out... girls and bikes and living at home is where it's at.

I like SE bikes and feel that they're underrated, I prefer SS to FG, I suck bollocks at sprints, I love distance riding, I kinda want an Aerospoke, and I'm thinking about buying a nice road bike so I can do some super long distance stuff like brevets. Forgive me father, for I have sinned...

What's not to like about it? It's aluminum (without having huge "aero" tubing), has great geo and looks amazing. Suicide Girls are so meh.
