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)

A little project I've been working on...

I can do any color lugs/tubes/outlining, so if anyone has a request I'd be glad to render one for you

I'm actually inclined to agree, but I haven't done any FEA. This is just for fun, so I'm not terribly concerned with safety factors and such.

The bottom of the bottom lug on the headtube needs to be round, not pointy.

Looks good.

Neat! But it really should be silver brazed instead of brass.

It's an assembly...it would be more difficult to make as a single part.

I tried, but it didn't come out well--there's not enough contrast in the picture.

The geometry is straight from the Cinelli Supercorsa (not Supercorsa Pista)...the chainstays are 405mm.

This is actually the first bike I've modeled in Solidworks, but a Lo Pro or a triple triangle frame wouldn't be difficult.
