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)

I would ride that gold bike right down the boulevard here in the ATL.

People would be bidding on it outside the club.

BP4. Their website has a bunch of junk about how they're wind tunnel tested and blah-blah-blah faster than normal bars. To say I'm skeptical would be an understatement.
