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 is so rad. I like playing the difficult maps like:

I'm gonna have to go look at Boston a little bit, I remember it having nutty street layouts.

Here's a fun one in Brussels (well not all that fun, pretty tough to navigate!)

https://www.google.com/maps/@50.8359...,18z/data=!1e3

I tried to do one in Sun City, AZ where they have a couple of concentric circle street layouts but the streets are a little too far apart for real fun - you only get the inner arcs

indeed it is Martyn Ashton, no cyclocross bike. his previous video was done on a top end dogma

It's Martyn's Bike Party 2 vid but that is actually Danny Macaskill riding the bike in that shot.

Your previous post made me look that guy up earlier. I didn't recognize his name. I checked out his vids. That clip turns out to actually be Danny Macaskill as a guest from the #2 vid. If you haven't seen Macaskill's vids, they are killer too. Awesome cinematography, especially Epecuen.

the X2 looks nicer imho. You can probably sell the x4 for more and buy a cheaper x2

I was trying to buy a X2, but I can't read ebay titles apparently.

Today the entertainment module in my car took a dump and is completely dead. No Sirius satellite radio and I just renewed my annual subscription for over $200. Can't play a CD either or even listen to standard FM. Also, sometimes the compass goes bonkers, and the nav system shows me driving perpendicular to roads. Modern hi-tech cars suck.

Found a vintage suede unicantor at the co-op, it's mine now. Really odd that no one saw it, considering we don't get new parts all that often. Debating between putting it on something or keeping it for another project.

edit: forgot to mention I've got the trek down to 22 lbs. Only things that would lighten it up at this point would be a new stem/bar, and pedals.

My 1986 Mustang had manual windows and I loved it. Manual door locks too. My new car has this stupid keyless pushbutton start, and if the transmitter battery dies the car won't start. Also, the steering is electric with no direct mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the wheels. Scary !

Tejano doesn't your key fob have a pull out key tucked away inside?
