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)

Yeah that's a Velo orange stem. Part of the reason I swapped the original threadless fork out was so I could mount that stem.

Think it's about time I showed you guys my bike.
She rides like a dream!
I might swap out the handlebars though. They're not the most comfortable for long rides.

This is mine, a Regal bikes Master. I changed out the handle bars, and have put a few kms on it with my wife. I love the simplicity of it.
