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)

For $15 I would take the chance if I they were my style at all. Maybe might be worth while getting a pair of beater shoes.

I really want to buy some Feiyues, which are also roughly $15. Any one ever tried them?

Ooo, I like those Feiyues. I've never seen them before. "The #1 shoe choice for Shaolin monks and masters..." Tight!

i have a pair of starburys, the kind that are a new balance 999 fake. they are kinda crappy, but yunno, 15$. i dont see the kind i have there anymore. i only bought em as an experiment to see how quick they fell apart. they were slightly better than i thought they would be.

I've had my starbury's for a few weeks now and they are holding up fine. Cycling doesn't put much stress on shoes unlike soccer or running so I think they're just fine. And I got mine on sale for something like 9$.

I just got back from the store > I needed to replace my $ 100 asics anyway... < I don't know if these are any good, but so far they feel ok. I have to break them in first to find out what the deal is.

The store I went to was having the grand opening sale, everything was $ 8.99 > I MEAN EVERY SINGLE ITEM IN THE STORE <.

They did not have the shoes I wanted (sold out) so I got something else ... and for $ 8.99 it was a steal (even if I don't play basketball)..



I got some cargo's and a few t-shirts to boot.


Their website does not do them justice, their store is equal to the Old Navy's that I've been to except that everything costs much less. Their selection of t-shirts is much better (they have transformers stuff... tee hee), and they sell shoes to boot (no pun, and no boots either!)

I forgot to add that I bought both of these for $20 at Ross, and the Reefs have a built in bottle opener. I never spent more than $20 on shoes and I have some really rad kicks.
