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)

Classic and vintage rides & rigs
BMX Bike Checks
Post your MTBs
Pics of your loaded touring bikes

Granted there will always be a little off topic chatter somewhere and the occasional negative comment, other subforums are night and day compared to Single Speed / Fixed Gear.

And yes I realize the irony that this post is not a picture of my bike, but seriously... This subforum (newbies, regulars, and mods included) needs to get back into shape and drop all the stupid nitpicking and arguing.
Dude: If we didn't want to argue about bikes, we'd post to those other forums. But see, ya gotta understand: This is SS/FG!

And just so I don't sink to your level, here is a pic of my FG:

There are a couple of shims that might work on your bars. Here's one of them.

shorter stem to make it comfortable with the seat in a normal position and shortening that chain would make that build buttery smooth . I wish I had a GTB with a wound up .

Looks souper steep. Good looking bike, only one toe-clip though? I did that once because a broke one, and it wasn't fun.
