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?

I got the Park PSC-9 for Christmas and am happy with it so far. I checked out the PCS-10 and it seems a bit nicer, not sure I'd bother spending more money on it though.

I always roll home with 22 lbs of cat food on my bars. Hang a couple pounds of human food off of one of my brake hoods. Bring home charcoal like this too.

It's pretty easy really. Requires drops with brakes or flats with barends. -17° to 0° stem helps too. Just position so CoG is good and squish bag on there so it settles in. Then squish the ends in to make room for your hands. Charcoal's a little tricker cuz it doesn't squish as easily.

No, I squish my hands in under there. You can see the indent where my arm was in the pic. A couple of poorly mounted charcoal bags have ended up with one hand on the bar and one on top of the bag. Very sketch!

I used a milk crate tied on with old tubes on my old Bianchi.

Lately I've upped the ante and put a curbside recycling container on the rack. Attached with 4 self tapping screws - make sure they're short enough they don't come close to your tire. Sweet setup with mega capacity.

If your saddle height's about like mine, make sure you set the container back a bit or it'll rub your ass, not in a good way.

"may have old school decals" - aka "may be older model"

notice they don't specify the tange dropouts in the description. I'd call in that order before I did it. Great deal though, down to $200 too

The one I ordered was the same way in that it had the old description that doesn't specify Tange dropouts but does say it has bottle mounts, which the new ones don't. Nonetheless, it was the newer model as shown in the image. The important thing is that the model number 90595 is correct, as shown on the Soma Fabrications website >>> https://store.somafab.com/sospedrutrfr.html If it turns out to be the older model, you can return it for a refund.

yeah that's why I said I'd call, make sure that model # was correct. I had to do that with Tree Fort

I carry EighthInch bicycle products in my shop. They come laced up. They make a model called Amelia that have braking surface alo. They are very, very tough. The Amelias are the less expensive models. I think i have a set of black ones for $75. Those are year end close out deals. Great Components and parts

Nashbar has a 72 deal. Got an email saying 72 items, at least 72% off for 72 hours.

Some pretty good deals if you're looking for specific things, they got USB Blackburn Fleas for like $9-12. Crazy good deal. Might pick up another one as a "just in case for later" light.
