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)

this guy has been trying to sell this bike for months now. Every once in a while it pops up and he always describes it as 'extremely fast'.

Either the seller is a tongue-in-cheek "kid in tight pants" himself or this is some clever strategizing: tell people how much you hate what you're selling so that buyers will assume the seller will take any price (this works on craiglist, but not eBay.... anyway I think it adds to the frenzy potential.)

Judging by the setting of the picture I'm going to go with tongue-in-cheek.

Pretty nice hetchins.

Too bad about what looks to be a small dent in the TT.

Anyone know if those fenders are as rare as the bike?

this is the response i got when i asked the seller what the size and other specs are, swear to god

im not sure exactly...

im 5'11" and when i stand over the bike naked my balls barely hit the frame.

i have average size nuts and the room is 74°

the wheels are after market

new grips

it has a sticker on it.

its pretty much brand new.

i hope that helps.

what?!!

Really nice. The guy's eBay avatar seems to be a pic of that frame built-up:



Being in the same city as the seller, I'm a little tempted.

Pinarello frameset, $250 in Montreal. I'd do a conversion with it if I hadn't just done one.

That frame is awesome looking. The modern build is a little odd but no Deep Vs at least.
