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)

Hey 165.

I think it's time to reseruct the battery awards. You set the catagories. C'mon, bring back the old days to the new crew here on the forum. What says you old man? We can get all the old school kids to come in and trade stories with the new school kids and do a kumbaya..

And then chuck D cells.

Skitbra.. Herent.. Thefixer.. Mayo.... Who am I forgetting? Has the old crew completely jumped ship?

Thanks [165] for bringing up that song. I'd almost forgotten the shiver up the spine that Edith's voice sent to each listener.

Where's my iPod?

I'm all in favor of resurrecting the Battery awards.

When was the new school/poseur watershed month? Was it when "pie" and "stash pockets" gained cache in this forum?

Aww. Thanks.

And a day off to boot. It's about time my birthday was recognized as a federal holiday.
