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)

Oh my god that Rossin is the HOTTEST! There is a super nice used Rossin track frame at High Park Cycles, but good ol' Jan wants $850 for it! It's white on the front half and the back half is orange, hot pink and green. It's pretty damn nice.

Yeah, I've seen that one but the peach Colnago is the hottest one in there; I think he quoted me 9bills for that one, yikes! He really does have some insane stuff though.

The stupid wedge inside indents the bar - do find your position carefully, as frequent readjustments will cause the bar to slip.

Oh yeah I saw that one too, yeah its super nice. Oh man the frames he has in there are ridiculous, the road frames he has too is just unbelievable. Everything is Basso, Colnago, Cinelli, Rossin etc. Have you ever been to Bicycle Specialties? Mike has some amazing stuff and he's actually reasonable about his prices. I just picked up a Lejeune track frame from him saturday. I will have to borrow a camera or something to get some pics up, mine is officially toast from its salt water bath (long story). The Lejeune looks just like the one hanging up at Urbane except mine has much rattier paint.

Thanks for the heads up. I've mated them to some pretty gnarlified TT bars, so it's not gonna be a problem.

no criticism intended btw, i've always heard good things and you look like you have a good setup
its a good concept for sure, more clearance and all that, but i guess for me running a rigid street/jumper (a norco 416 reynolds) i wouldnt have needed it.

also i have one and have gone through 2 of the cap bolts. They are cheap plastic and break if torqued down to hard. Just take it easy with it.

Metallo Pesante - your bike is sick and I'm jealous cos it's my size. Plus it looks like it gets ridden hard so those sealed bearing hubs are gonna be useful.
