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 don't really have a valid opinion on this because I would never spend that much on a headset.

It's like a happy meal for us bikers.

Scrod,

I saw before you were running Ultremos (not sure of ZX or DD), how do these compare to Durano and Durano Plus?

I'm down with free toys, just didn't know if it was intentional until I saw that a few other people got some in their orders too

Yea I did that but didn't turn up a whole lot on him. I've just seen a lot of references to him on here, watched his vids, and was curious to learn more about him.

Would you consider doing a "Scrod is going to judge your bike" thread? Homebrewk isn't very good at this.

I'm listening to "Quadraphenia" and I can't help but wish my amplifier would go to eleven.

How can I upgrade the amplifier without the wife knowing? Current amp is a Jolida tube amp; thinking of going with some Krell or Bryston.

No. Everyone is entitled to their wackiness whether I like it or not.

It does take cojones to show your ignorance and lack of taste though.

Get your own thread.

For the record, I hate the Beatles, Neil Young and Bob Dylan too.
