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)

So... I have a Gunnar Street Dog arriving around Nov 1.
I've purchased the following stuff for it:
Dura Ace 7600 hubs on Craig's list for $50. Laced them up to some A23 rims. 4 Season 700x28 from the tandem spares.
Cannondale C1 bars, stem and handlebars for $50 (Take-offs from a guy replacing them all with ENVE parts.)
Sugino 75 crank with 46 tooth chain ring on eBay.
Tange sealed BB from retrogression.
Selle Italia from my bin of stuff
DA 7810 pedals from my bin of stuff.

Still need a chain and cassette, looking at KMC X101 and EAI 18 tooth. The cheap black one.

This sounds awesome. Can't wait to see it. I want a Gunnar.

Just bought one of these bike covers that Scrod recommended for my outdoor bikes. If I like it, I'll buy a bunch more from Scrod to save $$$.

Saddle and stem for the new track bike, and a $10 jersey because why not.

For $450 it'd better do more than just make it a pleasure.

Not really for my bike, but I bought a freewheel removal tool, so that I can take the 200 grams of dead weight off the other side of my flip flop hub. I only use the one side...

Scored a super cheap (< 1/4 of MSRP) white/red Antares VS with carbon rails for the Zona. Moving the black one to the Space Horse to replace the Cambium C17.
