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)

If I had a shortstack stem I'd be kinda tempted to do that, just for a day or two.

Saddle position, saddle angle, handlebar position, plain bars, no plugs in the bars, no foot retention ... and the previously mentioned tiny stem and stupid rims. As a styling exercise, it's probably okay (I don't like that style personally so I'm only guessing) but as something you'd actually ride

It does have brakes front and rear - gotta give him credit for that.

HAHAHAHAHAHA I found that to be hilarious, but they can't draw mohammed and don't believe in Christ, so there is some confusion in the middle east. LOL

The shirts on that website all suck worse than the T-shirts at Target.

Where's the "Bike's got Badoink a doink" T-Shirt? Or "Where's the Beef" banana hammock?
If you're going to use cheesy pop culture references to sell your unoriginal crap, don't half step.

what do you even put on that? 4x8 sheets of plywood? Steering linkage looks a little weedy (for all the weight you could presumably put in that HUGE load area)
