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)

Let's talk NJS.

Don't, Scrod, just don't.

Some are to young, while others will just never understand b/c they don't want to.

To the OP, buy one and ride it, if you like it. Sort of reminds me of the Surly blog;

You're all full of ****. NJS frames are not too aggressive to ride long distances on.

Once Scrod tells me off you all join him because this is a forum and you're all a bunch of little kids looking for acceptance from the bully.

lol....not hardly. In fact I'm somewhat new to SSFG type of riding.

But I sure can do something you have trouble with, and thats understand bike geo!

Bicycles have been around a long time. There is nothing new when it comes to them, it's all, or mostly been done before.

You don't see any track type geo doing PBP, or RAM, or STP. There is a reason for that. Track geo works best on the track, and bombing around town. NOT for long rides. Correct tool for the correct job!

But nice try. There is a LOT to learn on this sub forum, as well as others, all you have to do is try not to know it all. That and because you read it on line doesn't always make it so!

And we'll end on these wise kind words.

Sure you can do a century on an NJS bike, but how will your back and legs feel the next day? That's what matters.
Just because it works doesn't mean it's the ideal way.
