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)

My single-speed Bianchi conversion I built last year, makes for a fun ride around town. For longer rides (and climbs) I have my road bike.

Scooped up the frame from the local Bike Co-op. Had a nasty looking red fork on it, a chain, headset, seatpost and Campagnolo BB. Replaced the fork, BB and seatpost. Added wheels, Shimano 600 Arabesque cranks, Cinelli 1A stem, Cinelli 65 Criterium bars, Brooks Swift Saddle, and a front brake.

Talk about a study in contrasts. Both of those bikes are amazing, btw.

I disagree with your bike, though it does look badass.

It may look like a serious jackassery, but this setup is quite functional in many situations



As for the black one above:

They sent me this shirt earlier this week for free. Awesome people.

Nothing beautiful but this is my fixed commuter bike (around 100 miles a week!), a kilo tt that I slowly upgraded... sorry for the cruddy cellphone picture.
Some of the components: cxp22 rear/iro front, thomson stem/brooks b17 saddle. Next upgrade is my crank.
