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)

Same school of thought as load bearing decals. MTB discussion forum jargon. Santa Cruz Bicycles had a powdercoat color option called rootbeer that they had for select frames, hence the does it come in rootbeer... Anything overbuilt that gets posted someone will say Looks flexy and some one else would follow by asking if it comes in rootbeer.

At least it was positive.

Lady in front of the Chinese spot:
"How old is he?" (Referring to my dog)
"4"
"He looks like a good boy"
That was as I am practically choking him to pull him away from a chicken bone he's trying to pick up.
People are weird.

Why do you have two stems on that bike? Maybe you could mount a handlebar bag, or something.

Just cuz I had not enough spacers. I tried to think of something useful to do with the extra but drew a blank. Now it's all spacers, still a work in progress.

Hoping to get one of those VO tallstack stems (or whatever they call them) when I get the dough. Would like many more silver bits on bike.

A coyote 4? by Research Dynamics (RD) Looked into a little. It's apparently a ski company that got into MTB's for about 10 years back in the late 80's early 90's. They made some good stuff it looks like.
