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)

I left my home in Georgia
And I headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've got nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way, so...

At Moses Lake, WA yesterday. Heading west on 15~20 mph sustained wind on S Frontage Rd and enjoyed the ride back on N Frontrage Rd - all parallel to I-90

Ha ha. That photo was taken on its first ride last night.

It is in the Post your SSSFG thread or https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/2018-...z-custom-37179 if you prefer.

I gotta admit, I'm jealous and frustrated. I think we both got into the custom frame market around the same time...here you are riding and here I am begging my shop to answer my emails about the Praxis crankset thats holding everything up.

Enjoy the bike!

Sorry to hear about your trouble. Are you building a fixed gear or something else?

Yep, a few minutes with a dremel and all is well.

Found a nice wall to mirror the discreet non-drive side of the Diamond

Nice pic and bike! I'm curious about Aventon, I thought about either building up a Cordoba or a diamond, how is the ride quality? Also, what do you do when you get thirsty? I don't see any water bottle cages on there.

Thanks Dave. I like my Diamond frame a lot. Can't speak about the Cordoba or Mataro cuz I haven't ridden them. But their Factory Team won RHC last year on the Cordoba and they are racing the new Mataro's today in Brooklyn. The only thing I think could be better is the handling. I think the full carbon fork does well to absorb road bumps, but is pretty flexy when taking sharp turns at higher speeds.


For water, I have 2 sets of these that I use for longer rides. They stay in place really well and can be added or taken off in less than a minute. I have a picture further up in this thread with them mounted.

Welcome to the South

Got me some Big-Un's on my ride today. They was mighty fine. Y'all come down.



Scenery weren't too bad either.






Always obey traffic signs. Safety is no accident.




This is Blue Car Body Rd. I've always wanted to ride it just because of the name and it turned out being real pretty.

McDonald's crispy chicken with pico and guacamole is pretty good. 750 calories for just the sandwich! VIP bicycle parking.

new to the fixed gear world, but today I took out my gears. Lunch ride was 16.3mi with 1600ft vert or the front 8 has 1100 ft vert. Moving time 57min



this is my $300 new langster rio I got last week on clearance from LBS, waiting for some brakes/bars to make it more street worthy. Too many hills in my area to run brakeless and have good knees.
