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)

Anyone have a good link for how the ZED cranks on that Look are installed? I hear they snake through the BB like Ashtabula, but I would like to see an illustration or video.

Nevermind. Found a quick video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0LIyyGtg-o Interesting...

That's not a mini velo, that's an F1. And it's a bullhorn leveling from kicking all kinds of ass.

Idk, the line between freak bike and Jackass is slim. to me, Tall Bikes are amazing/freak bikes, but that thing is JA. Personal opinion though.

The fact that there is a sub-culture behind something doesn't necessarily absolve it of J/A status (Juggalos, etc)

What I'm saying is that most people riding "jackass" bikes have no idea they are jackass. Freak bikes are specifically built to be weird on purpose.

I thought it was a GT frame and the lock is through the little extra triangle.

He's talking about the U-Lock, not the saddle chain lock.

youre right on the gt frame, from what i can tell its hooked through the rear seat stay.
which works but i personally always lock through the seat tube and rear wheel. that way in a moment the most they can steal is the seat, seat post, bars or front wheel. depending on how needy the thief is. id assume a thief wants a snatch and grab so. but out here in vegas.... lol
