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)

I disagree. He took a classic track bike, and modernized it while still showing off the original frame in all it's glory. The purple really lets the blue/turqoise of the frame come to life.

Updated photo. I agree to some extent about the conversion not looking too great, but I went for a twenty mile ride this morning and I really am satisfied with my conversion. It may not be the best conversion, but I put alot of effort into it and I enjoy it.

That Pog' is one expensive joke.

Though I've decided that Lavender is a sick color to base your ride off of.

I dig the Pog, but the chain is killing me. Colored chains
are decidedly not the jam.
