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)

This was posted on my local craigslist. It was labeled as a road racing bike for 140$.

Still, if you could be more parallel, it seems like it would be similar to hang gliding, which might be pretty awesome going down a hill.

This is a one of a kind fully restored single speed road bike. The frame is a Firenze GL5000 what has been stripped down to metal, primed and painted in aluminum silver with satin red accent. All of the bearings have been replaced and everything has been re-lubed and tuned. It is sitting on a brand new set of rims with red tires and brand new tubes as well as a brand new 17 tooth freewheel. The seat is lightly used but the neck is brand new as well as the red chain. The braking system is set up with two rear brake calipers that are controlled simultaneously with the one front brake lever and it stops very quick. This bike rides really smooth and I have already had many compliments on it from other bike enthusiasts. I'm 6'1'' and the bike fits me perfect, if you're within a few inches of the same height you'll fit just fine. I was planning on keeping it for myself thats why I have put so much time into it, but bills need to be paid so MONEY TALKS. I'm asking $399 which covers about what I have put into it, not including all the hours in labor. I am open to reasonable offers. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to come and take a look at it.

I don't want to share a planet with that jackass. I may try and hitch a ride with the next mars rover.

Spraybombed Mafac racers? That's a lot of effort for a half-assed jack job.

I'm extremely bothered by the fact that BOTH stems are unslammed!
