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)

Torso. Stem might be a tad long. Got it cheap (VO on eBay). Need to try something shorter but it's comfortable.

went and ride some rocky ass single track in central tx yesterday and today...not the ideal bike for bombing down technical, rocky descents, but still a blast nonetheless!

Thanks, and probably 3-4 more paychecks, so like 6-8 weeks. I'm hoping I can save more to get it done faster since I'm done saving for my wedding anymore (32 days to The Day).

Funny thing is my finance is either taking me building it very very well, and either not asking questions she doesn't want to know the answer to--or she somehow hasn't noticed the bike sized box that's been living in our bedroom.
