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)

Really? I kind of am interested in this. The crankset also looks very good. Anyone have bad experiences with narrow Q?

I'm small with small feet. It's part of the reason I always feel like I want a smaller Q factor.

Q factor killed my ability to put a SRAM omnium on my Devil. Be very careful about the crank/BB you select based on your frame.
