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)

Sorry actually I don't really know. I know that the lugged tubing is from TrueTemper.


We have an online market here like amazon,ebay but selling brand new products instead.
There are lots of "shops" (not in the way of one user selling one thing) selling fixed gear bike parts.
This market is very very popular and is kinda getting to replace real shops due to the low price that you can find nowhere among the streets.

This is where I buy this frame from and it does not belong to any famous brand. I hope I could explain clear enough.

While you guys had a snowy-session there, me here had a long-constant rainy season (usually rain at evening to midnight but lately it's been raining from morning till evening) so when I wanna go out & ride my bike I had to face this...

But then finally I gave up,
After had a full rainy day (again) yesterday, I finally put my fenders on for today's morning ride (just in case if it's raining again) xD
Also swap my handlebar to Nitto B260AA

Yeah, the highest floods that I've been ridden through was about the same height as the lower chainring level (sinking pedals + wet shoes!). I still use my Raleigh conversion at that time. The next day I spent like an hour just to clean it all (including the bottom brackets).
