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 like it, it reminds me of fillet brazing. Nice touch, nicer than big beads on alu mtb frames I always see.

Chromoly fillet brazed 'fake lug' by T.Ritchey.

I can't decide if that crank is more sexy or bizarre.

It's a Coda / Magic Motorcycle crank, now basically owned and made by Cannondale. The originals were called 'Magic Motorcycle'....no idea why. Originally they weren't owned by Cracknfail, they were run by some dude called Alex Pong who has since disappeared into the ether and is probably making steath products in some radar proof hanger in Arizona.

Yeah, I recognize those Magic Motorcycle cranks from the mid 90s. Alex Pong was a bike show superstar for a while, but very the CNC cranks were one of the few things that seemed to stick around. And by the way, I'm warming to the Cannondale's look. I also appreciate the fact that they've been building a track bike so long and all the stuff they're doing in Indy w/ the Major Taylor Club.

I think if you're going to have a big tubed frame, you've gotta go with the OS stem and some slick RevXs or deep rims to keep everything in proportion.

What are those cranks? Look even cooler than the chain IMHO. Needs to find a RevX for the front though.

My artist told me the feet were the worst place to get a tat cuz the skin is thin and it sloughs off the most. But what do I know.

Dude needs a good pedicure if he's gonna show off that thang.
