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)

You inferred it. "Noodley" and solid are antonyms in the context of this thread.

Also, you're probably the strongest guy in the world.

I find it funny how some of you guys, are angry about some opinions. I thought this forum would be better than that.
