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)

I hate when people ask what ratio I am running and then they smirk when I say 46/17. It seems like everyone that asks me about my bike is only interested in my gear ratio, haha.

I want to see gear inch, development, etc, data for that bike.

It's probably measured in gear yards.

But that one that Mike posted isn't a stayer, is it? I was serious when I wanted to know if there is some intended application.
