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)

Hey man,

Phil Wood sells a 22T rear cog. I know you don't stock them. How about getting me one on special order?

Like everyone else on the planet, I don't work 24/7. Please contact the shop via e-mail if you'd like to inquire about a special order.

Thanks!

Ellipses and Open Pros pass through the shop regularly and from what I've seen they've stayed consistent.

We've got some silver Nitto NJ-SP72 Jaguar seatposts in stock having a similar polished finish but they have 22mm setback and retail for $155.

Had a set of Open Pro rims come in box was truer than the rims.

Doesn't matter. It's a done deal now, right? Put it under your ass and ride it until the seatpost cracks.

I don't, but it's not my bike.

It's a 721, so he should be ok.

Scrod,

Long time, first time. I'm looking for a track frame but can't get to the bottom of the Aventon\leader\unknwn\whateverelse debate. What do you suggest as a track worthy
alu frame under $400. If it's $179 that'll be even better. Thanks.
