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)

Well, it's only $167/month. Actually, my truck payment was lower than that...It's a beautiful bike, (inch pitch!!! no SRAM chains here) but 4 big ones is a little steep, huh? (reaches in her pocket) Yup, the best I can do is save pic to harddrive.

Moving right along, at least some people have my back, huh? They don't call me "The Beast" for nothin', you know.

it does nothing for me. seriously nothing. kinda like the difference between a strip tease from a good friend and going downtown to the nudie bar after getting bored of poker night and potato chips. four thousand ******* dollars for a bike? dont waste my time!

I got it, but I got it a couple of different ways.

That bike is holy-f-ing unnecessarily expensive.

Wow... That '76 Paramount is only up to $400 with 15min left. It was nip and tuck, I almost put in a bid even though I don't have that money nor do I need another bike right now. At least not a track bike.
