he probably doesn't get a lot of thing in life

@Nagrom_ The point of Fixed gear is to NOT use brakes. It's totally cool to have a brake incase your chain breaks, but two brakes is totally overkill and defeats one of the purposes.

the point of fixed gear is to take pictures of fixed gear! get it right!

really? the point of a FIXED GEAR is to not have brakes? I thought it was to have a fixed gear.

****in weird, words and what not.

You don't get the same experience if you use brakes. With brakes it's just a regular bicycle that you annoyingly can't coast on.

That sounds like your personal opinion.

What makes a fixed gear bike a fixed gear bike is its fixed gear.

Otherwise, they'd be called "Brakeless no coasties"

You're town doesn't call them that?

I mean, you're the trackstand coach. I really shouldn't be butting my opinion against your facts.

Everybody here rides a brakeless-no-coastie.

Just switch the subject, it's in your best interest.

be nice

sexy.

Geared bike, deal with it.

Wow that is beautiful. What frame? I love the smooth non-lugs and DT shifters.

Basso Graftek. ;)

It's actually a carbon bike. As Leuky said, it's a basso, made by aegis around, as best as I can figure, 1990. Best as I can tell it's wearing Campy athena with c-record SyncroII's. Still don't have the right freewheel so it doesn't index as well as I'd like: came with a 7 speed sycro and a 6 speed freewheel, I've since swapped that out for a 7 speed suntour FW I had on an extra pair of tubular wheels. There seems to be a black art to getting syncro's to work right.

While I'm at it, it'd be off by about half a decade, but should I put this 80's fabulous computer on the basso? Would it be too much?

It was a really nice ride, but when I got home I went through the ritual of wiping down the tires before taking the bike inside: my hand hit something on the new rear tire and pssssssss . . . . flat :mad:. Oh well.
