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 hate you.

Hahaha climbing as 5'11 190lbs is the suck. Although I'm down to 185 now. Funny how those rest days and zone 2 days work.

With my body type and build, I don't think I could squeeze much below 170 without being skeletal and in deep poop with the wife.

I hit 165 almost 3 years ago for my first marathon (poor eating, plus huge base miles) and wasn't able to maintain any muscle mass. My wife threatened to have me hospitalized if I didn't put some weight back on. Other than my love for quality beer, my vegetarian diet combined with running, tri training for 6 months out of the year and riding habits keep me at least safe.

I can relate Santaria. I'm 5'11" and sometimes I get as low as 153 if I'm riding hard. That's when I take an easy week and go into fatty mode eating lots of goodies.

Today I saw this cool bike :



not too bad looking.. Looks to be a newer model. Not too familiar with Merckx road bikes.

I'm trying to ID the bike. I can't seem to figure out what model of their lineup came with that style of fork? Maybe it's aftermarket? All of them seem to have some sort of crown on them.

I was shocked to see one that looks so nice with modern parts, like that threadless headset and ksyriums.

I still lust after these :

and pretty much every other merckx road or track... I love the pink / dark blue ones... Merckx mondays on prolly's site usually gets my blood running...

must bike more. 6' #200. of course i put on muscle (and chub) real easy. former #275 powerlifter. current goal is 195, then 185.

also considering a roadie. debating between vintage-ish and new. will depend on how much i have to tool up. have the desire to snag a late 70's / early 80's Raleigh to relive my youth, but the market around here is dead. will have to wait until yard sale season kicks off and begin the hunt...

Half a dozen people stopped to comment on the rig... one guy said he felt bad for driving his car and should have ridden his bike.
