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)

Start saving up to rebuild my Spicer in time for the 2013 RHC and to hopefully start racing track next year.

Red bareknuckle, black components / rims / spokes. Polished headset & hubs. Would that look cool? Or would it not look right? Trying to find a bike setup like that (any color frame, with black components, and polished hubs + headset. But can't find anything).

Shouldn't be a problem, having some silver accents isn't a negative.
