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)

^First impressions? I imagine that fork changes the feel/geometry quite a bit as the stock Steamroller fork has such a tall axle-to-crown.
