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)

thanks! my only concern is whether or not the paint will last. it's simple rustoleum, and even with 3 coats and a clear coat, i'm not sure it will hold up. There are already some nicks and scraps. I'm thinking of trying auto enamel or appliance epoxy. But i will likely keep the stripes! The paint scheme is a tribute to my favorite team ever, The Hartford Whalers!
