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)

It's really cheap to get film processed and stuck on a CD at Target. I think you can get 3-4 rolls onto one CD for $7ish or something.

Sweet I had no idea; now that's around the tune of what I'm willing to pay
No idea because none of the targets that I've been frequenting/ closest to me both here and in the bay area had photo processing; I'll have to drive some 16mi to this one which is ironically grouped near 2 other ones which also have it. =/

i volunteer at a really amazing photography school, so i can use their developing stations and chemicals for free within reason. of course, that's not why i volunteer there, but you should also consider that if you don't like spending 3-10 dollars a roll at a store or photo shop, you can do it for cents on the dollar once you buy a very small amount of equipment.(tank, light bag, reels, chemicals, thermometer, watch) and the chemistry is the only thing that's expensive, especially if you don't let it go bad(do a lot of film, share chemistry)

amtrak totally comes to seattle. i kind of want to bicycle tour the coast, but i have yet to make my first million.
film is awesome. from that same small plastic camera: https://www.flickr.com/photos/charlie...in/photostream

Thanks! It's a ton of fun. It's the only one of my bikes with a freewheel so it's a totally different experience, plus even with the rack, the gearing is good enough (48x16) that I can get some nice speed with it.

Soma Porteur Front Rack with Front Fence Add-Ons btw, the bars are left bank's from VO.

I may move these parts to a different frame, as a track townie can sometimes feel like a waste of a nice track frame, but for now <3
