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)

No thanks on the stumper. However, it IS for sale. Check Chicago's craigslist. Thanks!

The '85 is in a box. I'll take plenty of pics of the '84 when it's finished. That Pake is starting out nice!

Major updates in the saddle department. Replaced the azzhatchet Origin 8 on the naranja with a Fyxation Curve and the Tioga Spyder TT on the Leader with a Charge Knife. Both are massive improvements in the comfort department.

My knees can't take the beating they used to....hence the front brake.
Im too old for this brakeless bs....my last one was sans brake, and I just can't do it anymore.
