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'm gonna try and put my next paycheck into a Calv. I really like the cut and you really can't beat that price. I am tiny, though. I suppose an XS would not be in order?

I just got back from a ride on the bike trail with me girlfriend. We saw some kids doing a make-shift turkey call to one that was sitting on the very top branch of a redwood. Not only that, they needed help with their chain, so I put it back on for them on their little barbie fixie.

Built up a nice Peugeot for touring (for a friend), tweaked my truing stand, and tidied up my shop to ready it for more carnage.

That Pug... saved from becoming another conversion.

Took a new route to work. It involved a pretty major but short climb that required me to switchback to make it to the top, even clipped in I wasn't able to generate enough speed to make it up. It wasn't that bad though. The downhill was absurd as I whipped through the cracked cement backstreets of silverlake. I hit my brake because the gnarly, cracked and winding road freaked me out a bit on the descent. Over all i think it'll be my new commute.
