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 think the spokes are less functional and more paying homage to the Spyker logo. Still awful, tho.

Haha. It just seems random that they'd go that fancy and not bump it up to Dura Ace, but maybe they wanted the darker color of the ultegra cranks.

It is funny they don't call Alfine DI2, AI2, or at least I have never heard that. A lot of folks don't quite get UI2 until I explain it.
