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)

If you want a dual speed, your best bet is to use the white industries dual freewheel that is pictured above (or surly dingle if you want fixed). The two tooth difference gives a nice change-up without being so much that you have to adjust your chain length. I'd stay with a single chainring.

If you want anything beyond that, I recommend just buying a geared bike.
