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)

Especially with some green grip streamers. Would be more cool with a coaster brake.

I'd call that guy and offer him $20, the advertised price of the bike.

The Aware Wolfs would be a pretty sweet name for a highly conscientious commuting club. But I doubt that is the case.

The Awarewolfs are doing their part for bicycle safety and raising awareness in San Diego - like working toward having Green Lanes put in all over the city.

Charlie only carries that megaphone on group rides and events, mostly to be funny. Aside from the weird lever placement, his bike isn't jackass at all.

That bike also probably only gets ridden on the track (I hope).

Incorrect. Min offset (rake) and max trail. Allows you to get closer to the derny.

Proves that a bunch of nice parts does not make a nice bike.
