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)

That's what makes it attractive to me above and beyond the garish "look at me" designs on most of what Robert Egger produces.

The black/red bike looks like it came to do business, not to impress ladies.

I might be late to the game, but that steel vigo looks great.

I wish they had those back when i was looking for one.

Not a fan of the paint job on the steel Vig. The black/red Spec would look sexy if it had a nice wheelset.

Oh, I get it. This whole fad with all black carbon deep wheels on an aluminum aero bike with gumwalls? That has to go. NOW!

I'd ride it. I think it's a cool bike overall. Just hate the paint scheme.
