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)

Oh so very tempting . If I where not feeling crappy today (sick people should not come to work and get other people sick) I would drive down to the Art Museum and ride with you guys . I am not hardcore enough to ride from the burbs to the city that late.

Which part of the Art Museum exactly? I guess the best place would be the Italian Fountain because that's the meeting place for the Pretzel Phix...

A bike like yours deserves more attention than what you have provided. Please send it to me.
Thank you

Italian Fountain OK. I've never been with you all on a Pretzel Fix ride, but I'm sure I'll find it. What side is it on?

Anyone who's holding back because of outta shapeness, boo. I've been slackin' off too, but weather like this has no simpathy for the oh-I'll-have-one-more-cause-it's-winter excuse. Plus, I've got a race coming up.

I might try to make it out there. I never found my track cog last weekend so I am still s/s so do not make too much fun of me if I show up.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I judge one's choice of beer more harshly than the setup of your bike. Wheels and squeals.
