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)

Gorgeous! I love the details like the head-badge setup, the color scheme (classic!), the fork and gum-wall tires!

Simply great. I would change nothing of any significance.

Do it! Kinlin rims are awesome. I'm not sure how ****** Novatecs are, but I can say that they spin much better than sealed Formulas and IROs.

ha yeah the bmx grips are pretty corny. It's almost too stiff to ride on the streets, esp. with all of the potholes here.

Thanks! The tubing is Columbus Spirit for Lugs. The sticker i got though is just Spirit. Thanks everybody else for the comments.

Damn Angelus, nice GTB and awesome work on the wheels.

Does anybody have any experience riding both Aeroheads and Sun M13ii? I like the classic box section and polished look of the M13ii, but don't know if they're going to be a significant downgrade or not.

Paint Stripper and Mother Aluminum Polish. Make sure if you're using Paint stripper its on a painted wheel. If its Anodized, you'll have to resort to oven cleaner.
