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)

Bikes: Felt TK2, Felt Z5

At that angle, it looks very one dimensional. Also, a dirty ***** for being posted naked like that in bed.

"Custom Build" is really over used these days. People think it adds value to something, when it means, basically, you are trying to sell me a bike that you built, just for you. I mean, it's a cool bike. And good parts, etc etc, but drop the "custom", cause no one gives a rat's ass. Besides, how "custom" can it be, if its built up with parts that most everybody would put on it anyway? $1800? get the **** outta here.

Nor I, but if you Google "EAI Toyo Godzilla", the frameset alone appears to go for over $700 from most retailers.

That sure is an expensive one. $100 chain, $100 headset, sugino 75 cranks... the list goes on.

I know they're cheap, but has anyone used these? thinking about buying a pair. I'm currently riding on single straps.

No reserve and still reasonable bidding (which I don't expect to last). Tall-ass bike, doe.

Don't know much about these, but I bet it's rare as hell, and probably a decent bike too (at least).

you'd think for $900 they would've cleaned it up or something. The cog/axle/chain is all furry.

It sold via BIN (for its asking price) on the same day that it was listed, so apparently someone agreed.
