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)

Got a Cetma 5rail on this colourful beast.

Also some delicious road salt for extra seasoning.

for reasons unknown, that Capo is the first time I've thought the new Shimano crankarm design looks good. Well done. And the levers, and saddle, and cage. Everything is well done.

Current project 1 of 2. Made in Texas Romic track frame. It has the largest seatstays I've ever seen on a steel frame. As big as my Cannondale track. But steel. Crazy beefy.

Good ratio for commuting? Hoping to build a dedicated SS commuter soon.

new to me seatpost and gripnut. other than constantly changing handlebars (shout out to @Scrodzilla for the heads up on these MAP Ahearns, they are AMAZING!) I think I'm done finding ways to spend money on this bike as everything is pretty gosh darn good. time to throw money at the bike with gears!
