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)

Bye-bye RP Rydon, hello unobstructed vision:



I felt a achieving a podium at the European Sprint AG Championship warranted some fancy spending.

Turns out I actually got my Arione. Can't tell if ass-hatchet or not yet, but I like. Considering moving it forward a bit. Regardless: feels good, man.

Man, it's unbelievable. It took just one try to convince me to get it. As one who needs prescription (and doesn't get along with contact lenses) I'm restricted to the slightly-less-awesome V90, but my mom also got a V2 for herself. They're a technical match with Assos' Zeghos, but look better and fit my needs more.

Thanks, it's Deda Mistral. It's a faux leather with a really nice, firm feel to it. It's not particularly flexible though, which can be frustrating while wrapping.

Wabi lightweight wheelset and Veloflex Corsa 23 tires. Really nice wheels for the money. The Corsas on the other hand are the most difficult tires to mount in the freaking universe. Ride quality is worth it though.
