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)

Are you asking him that cause the sweet $4k+ fixies they build over there all look like that? haha, at least this one will not be in any "tight edits" and it just might be ridden on a track!

How is that fork? What is its offset and how does it ride? This is the one question I am always curious about with my fellow FTPers. Where did you get it from?

I think that bike is a bit much for the streets, you really ought to hit the track with such a overly equipped set up. Just for the street credz


Thanks for sharing
