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)

Oh man this is too funny but god bless his entrapenurial side. Will it be like when a kid learns to ride his bike with the guy holding on to the saddle while they track stand then letting go when he feels they are balanced? "Look I am not even holding on anymore, you're doing it by yourself, good job son"

Never. Only clever people know enough to bring liability suits. Anyone who takes him up on the offer is obviously dim.

I hope he makes a mint! But his price is too cheap, $200.00 will attract the right clientele. I wonder if his first customer will be riding a chrome pista?

Now that I'm thinking....some artist on the board should do a painting or illustration to this effect.

I already have too many commissioned things queued up... I nominate fixedfiend (if only we could convince him to focus his awesome talents upon something so trivial). If I had the time I would rather draw hotties on fixies.
I think a "kinetic" medium would be more effective than a painting or illustration in the case of Bike Chi...
ARGH me be drunk. why do I bother posting?
