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)

Super clean bike Scrod. I think the tires look good enough without the gumwalls since it matches the spokes and all the other components but that's just me..

Sweet looking Bare Knuckle, I disagree with the gumwall suggestion, I wouldn't change a thing.

Gumwalls work best with a quill stem and some polished components, like the very nicely done Rush above.

That's a long road. Been riding gatorskins for years. I have over 2000mi on the front tire. Maybe it will happen faster with a fixie and no brakes.

I've already had Paselas on it and they looked great IMO.

Motivated by @lockthecashbox's request, here are some recent pictures of my Sannino Pista constructed cir. 1985.









The saddle lock could be more elegantly wrapped, but it works.

One of the advantages of being over six feet tall and living on an island where the average height is several inches shorter, less competition for frames in my size. This is my go-to bike for anything under 5 miles away, sometimes more if I need to stretch my legs.

KHS Flite 100. Bought this a few years ago and stopped riding, trying to get it dialed in now.

What I mean is that it is down the road from me. It is rather obvious where it is because it says. My picture has the building cut off, but it is taken at the exact same spot in front of it.

Dunno the exact number, but it is steeeep. Feels great, though, for some reason, even riding all day. In fact, despite how weird it is, it's the bike I end up grabbing more often than not. Love is weird like that.

I've made a bit of changes to this pretty small bike and definitely gotten rid of that sticker bombed seat tube. It definitely looks much much cleaner now and I'm pretty happy with that. I doubt I'm gonna change any parts other than the usual tires and tubes unless something breaks down

New stem, bars and vinyl art on the fork. Just about complete now minus a wheelset.

My Soma Rush, pics from this last weekend while doing a loop of Lake Tahoe.

Started at Squaw Valley then rode clockwise 50 miles to South Lake Tahoe on Day 1 then rode 46 miles back to Squaw Valley on Day two, 96 mile fixed gear loop around the lake. That was an insane ride...
