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)

Can't be comfortable though. Even with a soft housing the small diameter would dig into the fingers.

Levers for me please.

When I see things like this I know it was designed by a young person. No consideration for loss of grip strength that some experience with age.

Or the current fad of dress shirt without a chest pocket - no place to put reading glasses.

Kids.

As an aside all of my dress shirts have a pocket, I have no need to stow my glasses as I have to wear them full time.

Yeah that Cdale is one of the best things I've ever seen. The Wound Up fork looks better than stock.

That is an interesting surface, I don't know if it photographic manipulation, but it looks like the bike is a miniature and it is sitting on sea salt.

Probably some kind of marble chips.

There's as much porn in the background of some of these pics as there are in the bikes themselves, lol.
