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)

The sign says it all.

Actually though, it's really nice. Definitely not as stiff as the Fuji or caad, but not overly flexy. It soaks up the road buzz pretty well, but that might be the absolutely massive tires I have in it. The Schwalbe tires measure at 27.5mm on these rims. Carbon saddle probably helps a lot too.

Probably not gonna get pink tape. It think it would be too much pink.

i think the word youre looking for is "compliant", which is a good thing

fat tires are the way to go man, some guys on the tour are using 30s on the classic stages this year. theres really no reason not to run the fattest tires you can, it doesnt slow me down none and make my ride a lot more enjoyable

looks good man, i bet it handles like its on rails and you can ride it all day like its nothin

Honestly, I have to say that some of the best looking bikes on this entire message board are from this forum.

its cuz were all a bunch of weirdos.

41 cares about "training" for their next training ride, everyone in mtb forum is too busy shredding gnar, cx is hidden in race forum and is all about parts and is pretty dead too, C&V has a lot of nice bikes tho

after this mornings hammerfest i hit up a new trail system

nice little section of super cool switchbacks in a dense pine forest, this was the more open section at the end


lots of iron ore in the soil, me and the bike are covered in red dust

oregonites may be familiar with "the red sauce"

A little late to the party, but what handlebars are those? Fantastic looking steed by the way!

I didn't get any good pics.

Fyxation Rodeo Pursuit handlebar | Retrogression

I find them comfortable and they are cheap.

I prefer the nitto rb-002 but they are only available in 26.0 clamp.
