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)

Okay, back to the subject at hand.... (since I was partially responsible for the drifting)

Spencer, again welcome to the SS/FG side of the forum. The build you have going looks solid. You'll learn about foot retention the hard way as many of us did, or are still learning (I am!!).

As you have witnessed, the previously referenced movie tends to raise a lot of sarcasm in these parts. I learned this the hard way myself a few years back. I spoke my opinion on this flick above.

All is good. Enjoy the forum.

It's not Spencer's build.

I think they are from Texas, probably should have painted them burnt orange.
