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)

No thanks but I want black. I have a caliper I've been wanting to throw on, but still no levers at the moment!

I go to lots of profiles when on my phone - so hard to tap thread title instead of thread starter. I sometimes wonder if people are wondering why I'm cruzing their profile.

Should I buy a Yeti Arc X frame for $500, or with EC90X for $600. No space for it at the moment, so it'll be sitting bare for a bit... it seems like a difficult frame to come by tho, so I don't mind snagging it while I have the chance.

From: My response would have been something along the lines of: "Does your bike have computer controlled suspension? Then shut your piehole, this baby is from the future!"

Bikes: to many to list

One of the bikes I've decided to keep is a '73 Schwinn Sport Voyageur, almost completely orig, (wheels and saddle not orig) I've been thinking on making a SS out of it as there really aren't any hills that I would worry about in my neighborhood. Its a pretty sweet bike as it sits but it would be a little lighter as a SS and more what I need to zip around my neighborhood. So yeah, "should I?"
