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)

Did you stop or anything? Although I should, I'm not sure if I would.

As for right now, the only pic I've got is this arial teaser:



It's small but the location is awesome and it's two blocks from our house.
That's such a neat spot to have a shop. Wrench on some bikes, then pick up some beer and ride around the beach while drunk. I envy you, Mr. Scrod!

The building is awesome - it was built in 1701 and a plaque attached to the front states it was the first commercial business building in the country.

Congrats man, good for you.

Sounds like a really neat place to set up shop. Let's hope it's not haunted.

I think it will work well for us. I really didn't want some high-rent, fancy storefront in the heart of downtown and was looking for something tucked away so we can be a little bit of a well-kept secret.

I could see you doing fairly well renting cruisers in the summer. That's what bike shops in Port Jefferson, NY do for the yacht crowd.

I probably would have been real immature, flipped him off, and proceeded to point and laugh.

Under these circumstances, I think that would have been appropriate behavior.

Of you could have pulled over long enough to make eye contact and say:
"Way to ****in' go!"

And then ride off.

Wow. that is a cool shop. Are you still just going to focus on fixed gear or expand your selection?

I'm a huge fan of the one word insults. Ride by on the bike , yell "******!", give your bell a few obligatory rings, then peace the **** out.

Keep drinking water. Chamomile tea can help. But really the only thing to do is wait until your body has gotten rid of the alcohol.
