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)

When to Performance Bike today to pick up a couple inner tubes. Talk about an impulse buy, damn. And before anyone gets upset about the front brake only, it is changed over to fixed. Took the pic before I switched over.
