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)

About the only chain "pizza" I eat these days is NYPD, I'm surrounded by local places with awesome flatbread pizza these days.

I have to say, the Phoenix food and beer game is quite strong.

There's an amazing little pizza joint near by but they only have Budweiser on tap I don't know how they get away with it when a gastropub and decent sports bar are around the corner.

Track Drops aren't really meant for brakes. Aside from that the front and rear brake has some sort of adapter to attach it to the bike since it's a track bike that didn't have holes for it, saddle to bar drop is a little much, non matching valvestems, brake hoods are missing from the levers, and the gearing + wheel combo is set up for track even though it's obviously being used on the street.

At least the back drop and framing is nice.

When you need those calories but only have $5, little ceasars is 2800 calories in a pizza. MMM

Same money invested in ramen noodles gets you around 5000 calories.

That's exactly how they get away with it. Not everyone wants sports and/or "craft" beer that tastes like bile.
