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)

I rebuilt my Single Speed

Hey, I use to use this frame for trials (now i have a trials specific bike if you want to see that also), but i did everything myself on this bike besides the front wheel. i laced the rear wheel myself with my own calculations and design (even though people have done this design before)

Interesting idea to put your own name 'coppellestereo' on the 'tubes. This should make identifing it easier.

hey, thanks for the comments, yeah, i think it looks pretty sweet with 'CoppellStereo" on the downtube.

I have 2 levers on the same side since I have some physical problems with my left hand. i wouldnt be able to squeeze the left lever, so i did some thinking and ended up with them both on the same side, and it works awesome too.

trials riding is just all around fun to do, jumping up and off things and stuff like that

here is a new video I made a few days ago if you want to see some trials riding (keep in mind we are beginners)

I like the video. Nicely done; good choice of music, especially when going into the bloopers section. A few lighting problems, shooting into the sun, etc.; could also improve with a steadier cam, but fun to see. Thanks for sharing.
