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)

Worth reading as is, but I think that thread would benefit from more input from the SSFG crew.
HAH! I was about to post this. BLOW TORCH TO MY CARBON FORK, WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

I'm certain I've got the correct thread. It's a classic frame that's somewhat rare and sought after and can fetch a good deal of money of in good condition and unaltered. Someone went through the trouble to filet braze track ends but didn't even bother matching the paint. I guess we all have different thresholds for what's crap and what isn't. This just goes to show.

Yeah, but yours probably doesn't have Diacompe brakes and all those other high quality bits making it soooooo much more valuable. The stupid thing is, some idiot will buy it from him. It's an oft observed phenomenon that once you're past any real value for something, the higher you price it, the more likely you are to sell it.
