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)

No tripod, but no flash and I stood real still. The black tape is VERY thin [3M from ebay product] - thinner than electrical tape; the silver on the wheels is much thicker - thicker than duct tape even. I got it at a hardware store and it was cheap; it is more visible, but still not as bad as spoke reflectors [shudder].

There is black tape on the chainstay, the seat tube, and the downtube, all of which are captured in this photo.

The front rack is the "Errand Rack" from Capricorn Bicycles.

As for a weight limit, I think it would hold quite a bit within reason. It's not super large so don't really think you'd be able to overload it. Size wise, it's designed for a paper grocery sized bag.



Here's some photo's of the rack:

Just picked this up a couple of days ago.







My first FG. I think the guy/shop that built it up for me did a pretty good job. Rides nice and smooth . . and almost totally silent. I think this is a keeper.

KB

I'll be changing out the pedals as soon as I can decide on SPDs of Eggbeaters (now I remember why I never looked back after getting Speedplays on my road bike).

Also, I think the stem is a bit short. May be changing it out eventually as well. Everything else will probably remain the same.
