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)

first fixie

in case anyone cares,

i'm building my first fixed gear bike at the local co-op.
should be done in like a week or two. it's a crappy (concord?) frame and used parts, but hey, i have my own fixed now. a little excited, a little nervous. i'll put some pictures up in the picture thread when i'm done.


so when do i learn the secret fixed-gear handshake?

intact pies- possibly one.

non-intact pies- quite a few, i'm sure.

unless their the little pies you can buy at 7-11. then the sky's the limit.

very true, it does depend on whether or not the pie is intact or non-intact and definately if it is from 711.

But the actual answer is: None.

Theres no real reason to stash a pie!

oh and by the way. Welcome!

if you stash a pie for long enough it ferments into a delicious booze laden treat
