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 is what I got...set up with a 51-16 or 51-15 for fast group rides. Pretty flat here in Miami so it's perfect for me and since I put this together I have not ridden much my S5

So is the horizon. It's always UP.
That's how you stay on a saddle and bars pointed 3 feet in front of the bike.

Thank you for liking my bike... This is probably my first time either in real life or on the net.
So I am sorry for taking the NDS and I made a new one today



I adjusted the angle of the handle bar and the height of my saddle to make it look better and ride better
If you want to see the other angles of view of the bike just tell me because I don't want to spam pics of my bike.

You may find that my front wheel greatly overlaps my pedals. It just makes the geometry of it a lot better .
I am trying to get a used nitto b125 handle bar.

This is a really nice looking rig. The subtle / pale green with the brown brooks saddle / handlebar tape works well. Super job!

Nice bike. What frame is that?

The rear dropouts suggest it was made by MaxWay.

If you can get your hands on yellow reproduction decals for it, it would be pretty rad.

Nothing Special, just Classic.

Merry Christmas to my wife, daughter, and me!

I have honey colored Fizik tape to go with the saddles, now I just have to get around to installing it.

The shackle of your lock should go around the pole and some part of your frame (seat tube, downtube or top tube), use the cable for the wheels. The way you're locked a thief would need very little to cut the cable and take the bike to a more private location to cut the ulock off.

Take into consideration that he may not live in an area where bike theft is even a problem.

Looks like a front porch, and dude lives on an army base (if memory serves correctly). Probably not a big concern for him.

Bike looks good, although I'd go all black on the bar tape. Saddle looks a lot nicer black.
