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)

Same. It's cool I guess, but not $800 cool.

Tesch was one of my co-workers at Trek back in the early 80s. He left Trek to join Masi USA in California, and then set out on his own. Track bikes were his personal favorite -- we used to do weekly car pools to the track in Kenosha.

He died in the early 90s from a ruptured cerebral aneurysm.

I'm kind of surprised he isn't appreciated more here -- he has a pretty awesome reputation in vintage circles.
