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)

Not sure, though I know I've seen them before too. The bike's ebay listing not surprisingly has no information: Viks hand made single speed bicycle /fixed gear fixie rare unique urban commuter

edit- Wait, now I know. Ask me again.

This was posted on another forum.

Customer brought in his bike for repair.

Guess he "modified" the steerer tube on his tapered fork to fit his non-tapered head tube.

Seems legit...
