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)

Today I finally got to make the bike stand I want. So glad I didn't cave and buy one.
Sorry if you follow me on social media but I'm quite proud of the out come.

Having dated a Brazilian woman, I completely agree.

The Brazilians have no love loss for the oil industry, that's for sure, and I wonder if the Petrobas scandal motivated that video in part. The scope of the scandal is truly breathtaking.

Today I'm tempted to sell my crabon fork and use that money to buy a steel frame/fork so I can throw my Leader away. I wish I could keep the fork but there is no way it will fit on any bike that is my size.

If you had posted this two weeks ago you might have sold it to me before I picked one up for cheap in a cyber Monday sale.
