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)

That's true, but paying for high end components that ugg up your bike isn't nice. For the money, I'd expect at least a little attention to aesthetics.

That's the cost of actual cinelli in-house Italian carbon as guided directly by the original creator of the original steel laser which is actually the one posted here originally as porn.

Yup.

Imagine this bike in all black or black with proper accents. It would actually be kinda hot.



Currently there are at least 30 Fuji or Oval logs on the bike. The Oval brand is owned by Fuji.

Oh, I know I just have different tastes. The Pegoretti would be a one of a kind, custom built, ridable work of art. (which I'd probably be afraid to ride for fear of ruining it)

This bike belongs to a local rider and weights 6,770kg. I haven't had the chance to see it in person yet, since I'm not riding with the group but it does look impressive.

There's a few races here in which you'll use all those gears and you may still need to walk your bike.
