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)

Just FYI for the OP, My girlfriend rides a Motobecane Jury Frame from bikeisland. She's 5'3 and it fits her well. She can run fatty tires and likes that it's unbranded.

She's on the 49. She kind of wishes it was set up for 650c as the 700's look huge.

I was pointing out that pink bikes exist, I should have noted everyone I have see riding them has been a guy.

only thing I saw is sf was girls riding odd colored converesions with the occasional carbon front wheel
