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)

Must go up a lot in larger sizes, or that 3000 includes a heavy HS and BB or something, or LOOK is totally lying on their site:

  • FRAME WEIGHT 1,800 G IN SIZE S390 G
  • FORK WEIGHT 390 G

There's no way that fork is 390g, unless it's some magic steel or something.

An Easton EC90 full carbon fork is like 330g, and this is all steel

Fork is filled with helium. Great way to save grams.

Need to play with my saddle height. 73cm was too high, brought it down a little bit, and it slipped down to 70cm on my commute home, which was a little too low. Now its at 72cm. It seems fine so far, but I need to put some miles on it.

Rear wheel on my bmx is already warped.

What's your saddle to bar length? Our saddle heights are nearly identical.

55cm to the center of the bars from the tip of the saddle, 53cm to the closest edge. Not too long, I'm only running a 110 right now.

What lacing pattern is that? It looked odd to me in the pics? It could just be the pics, but it also looked like the valve didn't line up with the "straight" pair.

I'm so confused. SpeshulEd is in AZ, Franswa is in TX, but you guys met in Frisco?

There's just a bunch of bike/coffee shops in SF, which is what Nagrom was referring to, but I think the one Franswa was at was in Tx
