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)

Shouldn't have to resize if its not too big. Just click on the picture icon in the reply, then choose from url, throw in the link and uncheck the retrieve option and it should work. Or just put [.img] url [./img] tags around the url (remove the periods/spaces).

Yeah I did that and it complained about the file size, hence the question. Since i was on my phone I didn't really have access to something to scale the photo.

Blue silver would be my bet, it might have some pearl in there too but it's hard to tell in a picture.

Gotta say thanks to all who participate in this forum. It's been an excellent resource for building up my first fixed gear bike.

New picture of old bike. I'm fairly pleased with it right now. I don't really want to change anything other than the pedals, but they get the job done...
