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)

KrupisVello ''a la 1930'' single speed frame



Designed this frame with ''hot rod '' aesthetics. Materials is columbus cromo steel. Joining methods are brazing and Tig welding. Frame ergonomics is very functional for daily use.

Yeah, I used my Galaxy S III which isn't bad for anything under ISO 400.

Here's inspiration for my next build. A bike I walked by in Paris 2009 and snapped a quick pic. Still love the way it looks.

Swapped all the parts from my milwaukee over to my 79 Raleigh comp GS. I've got some velo orange city bars flipped around on there for now and while goofy, they are seriously comfortable. I really like the thick slicks too.
