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)

I dont need to be sold on the value - I get it.
Some people are good with it, and it may indeed be worth it. More power to him for his entrepreneurial spirit.

But I don't need to spend $140 on a "designer bag" to tote a few things around in. That's just not me.

considering how long it takes me to a bag, it sounds like a fair price.

Yeah I tried to keep the price reasonable. Being a college student I know money can be hard to come by for stuff like this. If I can sell a few of these during the school year it sure beats working at Target.

I will lower the price of the bag accordingly, just PM when ur ready to purchase the bag so I can do so. Another thing you can do is visit the "Shop" tab under the facebook profile picture and there is a promo that gives you the 10% off and lets u buy it directly off the site. Thanks!

That is a flap for a bag. Trying argyle for the challenge.
Plus wanted something a bit more discreet than my super mario bag.







You do pretty good work and good best of luck.
