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 tried several different kinds of handle bars and this one just works. I dont like how it looks either but my hands don't ache after several hours of riding. I want a segmented fork so bad, or a real Rock Shox Reba
