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)

Here are a few more shots.




Here it is ready to ride.



And since it's covered in reflective tape, which actually happens to be the same color as the bike, here is a shot at dawn with the flash.

Impressive! These 2 rides are classy as hell.

Bro - I love these bars! I tried them on a few other bikes, but on this Miyata they really shine - the fitment is just great for me. They offer lots of hand positions and I use them all Downward-sloping 'tops' for cruising, bend area for hammering down, flat part for sprints and climbing, and the ends for climbing too and for aero tuck - out there I can get my back near-horizontal and really start to crank

finally got this back together ran into a problem though. the crank makes a crackling noise that it didn't make when there was no chain on it. i don't know if my chain is too tight of if the teeth on the chainring are too fat for the chain. the pedals are just temps until i figure out what i want to get.

Pretty sure your chain is too tight. Or it could be the sound of those sweet bladed spokes cutting through the wind.
