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)

I would hate to see him face to face in day time lighting conditions (relevant to the usual club lighting of his events); do you know his face is the equivalent of an acne scar minefield? A friend of mine ran into him on the street & snapped a shot with him and showed me it; my first reaction was a gag reflex.

I wish popular electronic was a combination of older Tiesto and Justice (specifically "Cross"). But I can't hate on dubstep, just because there are times when I just really want to hear it, especially if its extremely uptempo and housey. The first time I heard dubstep was the same night I first dosed lysergic in the woods in Salem, MO (Spookstock, lame). Terrifying and life changing.


Skip to 2mins for the real ****. So ****ing heavy. I seriously think my average riding/driving speed is 20% faster when I listen to the song.

And yes, it does seem that hating on dubstep is very in vogue with hipsters nowadays. One in particular, the girl I'm crazy about. I think my contempt for hipsters stems from her not feeling the same way about me.

With that gear ratio, something like Spinner, Spintastic, Spin City, Spinster, Spinalicious or Goin' Nowhere Awful Fast

Lose the Dork Disk, otherwise, nice conversion.

Yeah your right. Tonight was the first test ride and your right on the gear ratio. But this is my first single speed so I am going to play around with it and see what works best. And dork disk was off right after the pic. I didn't realize it would pass over the cog without having to remove the spacers etc.

It deeply saddens me to announce. The name that was pulled out for the name draw was....."Bear Bryant".
