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?

Mine too, he's a tall mofo so his bikes weren't able to stack two deep. I'll likely move my lower one over to mimic his set up but for now I'll allow it.

Did my physical training test, ran 1.5 miles in 10:39. 9 seconds off my goal, I didn't puke at the end so I guess I could have pushed out the 9 seconds.

I paid about 320 for frame/fork/shipping, so yes, it was too good to pass up. Roommate paid a little less sincehis was a 725. I would never pay full price for a Leader.

Yesterday I went on a solo 50 mile gravel ride. The farm roads and weird places in my area are fun to explore. I also found a 37 mile gravel race to enter on oct 27th. Its oddly short so it sounds like a blast. Lastly, I had time to weigh the crux its a little heavier then I thought, as it turns out the first scale was off. Two different scales came in at 18.13 LBS (no pedals) take off the 3 bottle cages the 3rd seatpost bottle mount and it is sub 18. [MENTION=112127]johnnytheboy[/MENTION]

Fall and spring weather are the worst because it's unpredictable, will be dry and sunny then the second you start riding, it's pouring out. Winter is better because it's just cold and rainy all the time so you can dress without worry of weather changes.

Expect to get hailed on a couple of times a year too, it's a blast.

Texting Breaking Bad spoilers to random people really pisses them off.

how on earth do you ride your bike without pedals? 18lb13oz wit pedals would being it up past 19.
i'm one of those weird people that weighs my bike the way i actually ride it.
pedals, cages, garmin mount etc....but again..i'm weird.
mine with all that ^ weighs in at 20 on the nose, and these bb5's are way more than your canti's. makes me feel good.
where's that gravel race you're entering? i might be interested.....

oxymoron. 42 mi is likely too much to promote recovery, relative to not riding at all. even at grandma pace
