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)

Holy Hotness.

Wow, just came across this Moser this morn. My goodness, that would be one sexy beast. This is what my current bike would look like if I ran into a wall.

Lets post pics of "dream" or otherwise fixies - ones you don't have, but have seen and lusted after.

I know some of you regard it as some sort of character flaw, but I do love the Airborne Sortie.

Why do pursuit frames have to look like they're trying too hard?

Apart from being fast, the Lotus is not high on my list. Its monocoque frame means that the frame itself needs to be filled in giving it too much visual mass, plus the bars are built for TT--period, and they're wicked low meaning double-plus uncomfortable. The Cervelo and especially the Corima are hott.

While my own ride is approaching a mix of modern meets lugged, there are two bikes I like which fit in the modern mold.

This is one - https://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2004/b/eric.htm, it has a similar counterpart here in Chicago.

The other one is this

don't care. i'm not going to be able to afford one in the near future, so it's more about what it represents than any actual real-world ride-wankworthiness.

with wheels? I'd be surprised if a decent butted aluminum frame wasn't significantly lighter than the sortie frame.

where does this info come from? I'd really like to see the spec it was built with. Couldn't find anything on their site.
