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)

What a great picture! But seriously, we all feel like the kid in the Lion King sweater. This is awful.

I found out that one of the occasional "trouble" customers who visits the co-op is on youtube.
I helped him out last night before knowing about this video and about his history. And by help, I mean I showed him what was wrong and ended up doing the work for him.

Just did a tune-up on a Pinarello Dogma with full Campy Super Record and a Shamal wheelset. First time I'd been tempted to joyride a customer bike.

Today I survived the 7.6 magnitude earthquake in Costa Rica. Lost power for a few hours and a tree fell across the road to where I'm living but things are okay now. Pray for those people in the cities. There was a 6.1 down here in 2009 that killed 40 people and though there haven't been any fatalities reported yet, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear about some in the coming days.

Sure will Epic. Glad you are ok. I actually have friends down there that seem to be doing ok.
The problem after the quakes are normally getting supplies/clean drinking water. Costa Rica has their stuff pretty well together hopefully it works out ok for you.

Dude is insane. He kept thinking the wheel was rubbing somewhere on the bike even though it was spinning freely. Later, I took it to the truing stand and he kept pointing and exclaiming, "THERE!", when the rim came close to the feeler. Then he would zone out or something. I kind of feel bad because something is wrong with him but other volunteers say he has been a dick to them.

The part where he falls down (twice in a row) is the best. I would love to fight that guy.

Thinking about buying an old Lemond Zurich. It's small for me, but I think at worst I could flip the frame and turn a profit.
