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)

It's actually long enough to just barely hold itself in the frame without the clamp-on piece.

That Cannondale is real nice.

What size frame? I have a '86 56cm sitting around I'd love to convert, but I don't want to go ordering a slew of chainrings and cogs just to experiment. The frame sizes appear to be the same between the model years.

Looking at those palm trees, I was expecting your bike to tip over at any moment.
