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)

Since we're on a huge bike roll, I'll repost this photo of my Bob Jackson. I'm 6'4" and have pretty long legs.

They seemed kind of difficult to get off, and I was afraid of breaking something permanently, in case I want to give it gears again someday, they are nice campy shifters, so I just left them on there for now. Kindof gotten used to it now, I should rig them up to release caltrops or oilspills or something.

Speaking of DT shifters... (i am aware that every single pic is blurred)



I still need to level the ends off, my hacksaw snapped (more like exploded) so i used a dremel the rest of the way. So far i like these more than drops, even though they look like *****.

Here's my first build. Yes, I was going for cheapness. I was on a bit of a budget. Built it up with left side drive just for fun and gave it a cool diamond pattern on the tubes.

Watch out for your pedals unscrewing themselves.

schixie

This is my (sometime pre-1980) Schwinn Le Tour. It came fully road outfitted, but I already have a road bike, so I thought I'd fix it. It's still in the works. Formula flip-flop on a 27x1.25 Sun rim is chillin' in my room, beside the Sakae Randnner 'Road Champion' bars that came on it.

Pix in the shower, what!
