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)

I've decided that I'm going to purchase a MTB with some of my bonus money (they distribute them in July here).

I'm going 26" XC-style HT.

So I decided to dress fancy for work today... Slacks, watch, nice shoes, "Athletic Fit" Dress shirt. I'm usually a polo and jeans/khakis kinda guy.

I'm getting all kinds of comments and attention, I kinda like it. "I'm preparing for my future as a high level executive" I tell them.

Traded my fat bike for a hardtail singlespeed aluminum frame/carbon fork Specialized Carve SL 29er mountain bike. This thing is sick.

Planned out a silly thunderdome build.

That new polished scheme got me wanting a bike.

But then every now and then you get a cool person that will let you know if they have another buyer and then a follow up email telling you that it was indeed sold.

Never understood people that sell stuff on craigslist yet are too lazy to take the ad down. They give you a link in your email and it's only a few clicks.

Good for you. Men don't dress up enough nowadays.

Now up your game with a sports coat.
