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 take the dmr serious, but the road riding is a stress release for me.

Dude, I had listings up on eBay and CL recently. I completely know the feeling.

"Wheelset and saddle in a couple of the pictures are only there to show you what the bike could look like built up. Everything else is for sale. I am not parting it out, so don't ask."

"Is it for sale as a complete?"

"How much for just the frameset?"

"I don't want the whole thing, but I like the saddle. I'll give you $40 for it."

"Is the case of Zombie Dust in the background for sale? If so, how much?"

****ing people, man.

For a while I had pipe dreams of actually doing legit races and things like that, but losing that desire feels very liberating in a strange way. ie-never have to think about grams n' gruppos

Don't have to worry about that stuff, but I do have to with wind speed, direction, line, approach and run out. This will likely be my last year doing anything serious with the dmr.

I found a nickel plated fork to match my nickel plated frame, but $425. Way past my fork budget!

Out of curios, where is this?
You could've gotten one of those odd ball nickel/ metal plated kilo tt's for that price.

Isn't a Ti fork with crazy lugs going halfway down the legs worth it? You'd probably be the first of your doctor buddies to have one

Speaking of which the fork that you're after looks a lot like kona's retro road fork which comes with many of their steel framesets, including my paddywagon.
They're only 1 1/8ths I believe.

my lbs got the replacement fork through bikesdirect, which I'm sure made them joyous, so Im pretty sure they are just giving me one of the forks from those shiny TT's. we will see hopefully before the end of the week, now I just need to get some shiny chains to match it; maybe even a big pendant that says "KiloLyfe". Gotta stay real
