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)

Dee Snider is pretty rad. I noticed he doesn't dress like that anymore. KISS does but that just because they are gay.

So well water? Better enjoy it while it lasts.

I work at a water district, and have seen the inside of the "chemical house" where they store all the additives. Not pretty.

Seeing as how our (NOLA's) drinking water supply comes straight from one of the most heavily used and polluted water bodies in the country, I'm not surprised.

I hope this thing rides well, because I doubt you'd be able to stand up straight enough to walk after trying.

I was waiting for that article to go into the whole diatribe about fixed gears being zen and being unable to coast.

If I ran a bar in the city, that would be a bike I would love to hang on the wall.

You know some drunk idiot will want to try out..."Sure, $20 and driver's license."
The outcome would be amazing....they might figure out a straight line but soon as they try to curve/turn around. lol

The pedaling would be hilarious though...since they see the bike and expect to mash like it's a BMX.

LOL!!! It's a bone-standard-dime-a-dozen cantilever beach cruiser frame, but with skinny wheels, mustache bar, and a three piece crank. Lame!

I don't remember who, but someone here (or on Tarck, maybe?) has an Enron jersey that I'm beyond jealous of. So I kind of get it.

BFSSFG should rep Trump Tower on our next cycling hat tho. And charge like $150 for it, cause you know it'd sell.

paintjob aside, the lacing on these wheels on a mtb is just asking for an ambulance ride
