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)

One of the guys on my shop team has a Wolverine as his only 'road' bike. That thing is super fun. Yours looks fantastic.

Anti-theft chain wrapped in tube. Probably necessary, but still unaesthetic on such an otherwise sw8 fixay.

Jlafitte nailed it. Just a bit of chain in an inner tube for security reasons -- a must here in SF unless you like seatposts up yer butt It does look a little funny but function > form in this case -- Havent had a seat stolen since I moved here almost a year and a half ago.

Rode around Lake Tahoe fixed... ~73 miles and 4500' of climbing, at an elevation I'm not at all used to. Wasn't as painful as I was expecting, but was still a bit painful. More fun, though. Love these random bike sculptures scattered all around the South Lake area.

Is that a Pista frame? The fork looks familiar but the downtube might be thinner than a Pista... maybe?

It does look nice, very clean and you've inspired me to take the faux Edoardo Bianch medallions off mine. Much cleaner look. Thanks.

What crankset is that? Hope you don't mind my questions.

Went out to Lake Chabot today, and got in waaaaay over my head.

At the end of a bunch of rolling gravel hills with a bunch of 15%-18% grades, and at the top of this 20+% paved hill. This is before things got really ****ty.


Alternate view


Got separated from my friend, and I thought I was following him here. Tight, rocky, rooty singletrack with 25mm tires is ****ing terrifying.


There was a drop of what seemed like a couple hundred feet off to the right. The path was pretty much as wide as my handlebars.

Yeah I missed a "No bikes" sign right before the singletrack stuff, and I see why that's there. I was absolutely terrified the whole time.
