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'll let you know. It's a 3T stem though, just feat. the Serotta engraving.

No name frame shipped to Cambodia in a container with hundreds of other junker bikes.
I sanded it down and rattlecaned the grey.
Deore XT 9 speed shifters, FD and rapid rise RD. Deore hubs laced to some no name rims with Schwalbe Big Apple 700 x 50c, Brooks C-20 cambium, 720mm bars, and FSA crank and chainrings.








it was one of my SS a while back

I haven't messed with reach adjust at all yet, but I dig this position as it sits right now. Doesn't feel like I'm reaching super far to reach the levers, so it might just be the white tape on a white-ish background

Based on your signature, no answer will be adequate so I won't even bother.

Unlike Tenspeedv2, I love gumwalls. But they do seem like an unusual choice for that bike.

For appearance or performance?

I think they look great and they definitely perform really well. Better than the Conti GP4KIIs I had on there before.

Strictly appearance. My mind associates gumwalls with lugged steel, or more "traditional" bikes. You know, level top tube, blah blah blah, old school. Maybe it's just me.

Honestly they go with anything.

I was at a larger performance bike store the other day and despite the rare sight of a DA 9000 equipped fuji's, the first thing to catch my eye were the clearance late-model charge MTBs with gumwalls.

It's not just you. Same way here, and then I see them on a TT bike or aggressive road bike and I am like wtf?
