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'm selling an older GT triple Triangle bike.
I bought it since I really like the look of the frame, with plans to convert it to SS.
Ended up getting a Kona Unit, so the GT is on the market.
I may end up just keeping it if it doesn't sell, & go ahead with the conversion.

so im pretty damn close to picking one of those visp frames up. i mocked it up to see what it would look like. there are no fork specs other than rake so i just guessed on it. it will more than likely be single speed.

You are right. I have had a GTB for years now and it is damned stiff and lots of fun to ride. After a couple of solid hours of riding it gets a bit tiresome but whatevs.
