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)

Nope. But who knows, he might even have a spoiler for his spoiler on there for maximum down force taking that corner in the mcdonalds drive-thru at a blazing 8mph.

It's gotten much better over the past year. My Ailerons are awesome.

F30s are rad but I don't see them holding up on a cross bike.

yeah they're a tad narrow for me, I think.
I plan on giving velocity another chance....I've built about 30 pairs of archetypes in the past year....I wanna give someone else a shot!

4 days seems like a long time for food poisoning, unless you keep eating the same "bad food"....

I rode a single speed for the first time in over a year. I must say it was the most awkward and strangest feeling ever. It was my old fixed gear that i switched to SS for my brother. I also lowered the saddle for him. Riding SS and with a saddle much too low made me feel like I couldn't ride a bike. Needless to say, I'm so glad I ride fixed.

Those of you asking, yeah there are/were denim forums. I used to belong to one of them before it went under some years ago. In my closet, I have probably 6+ grand of jeans that were purchased over the course of a few years when I was still married. If it is a "thing" there is more than likely a forum for it. Some of them I still wear, most are just taking up space. I wish I had the money that I spent on those and could put it towards an N+1 bike.

She did? She had easily twice as much as I did. And yeah, I put them on one leg at a time. Last pair I bought were $25 from Target because they fit me well. I have an anti hipster body as well as some of the others here.

Got a good night time MTB ride in again. It feels good to know I can still manage to SS on these long climbs even though my riding has been down.

$6,0000 worth of jeans??? Are you ****ing kidding me??? No wonder yer not married anymore(sorry, bad joke?).. Just curious, what kind of jeans were these? It seems to me that most denim, regardless of the brand, or price is Chinese sweatshop made, so I can't even fathom dropping that much $ on anything like that. I WILL buy a pair of good, broken in, USA made Levi's if I find them in a thrift store. It's hard for me to justify buying something, based on the brand, if the brand is just another brand made in a low wage paying country.

Ray-Bans are being made in China now too. WTF. The whole world is going to ****.
