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)

Early bird gets the worm

Here's an Easter story:

So after riding to a 6am sunrise Easter service in the park, on our way back home, I spied some old bike parts on the side of the road. I convinced the wife to stop, and in rummaging through them found a set of Mavic cpx22(?)'s laced to Bianchi hubs, with cog and Shimano lockring too! A nice Easter present! Oh, there was one spoke missing from the rear wheel. I suppose that is why they were discarded...

Never really saw a Bianchi-marked hub, are they stock on Pista's or something? Anyone know?
