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)

There's one of these listed locally, I'm thinking I might pick it up for bar hopping. How do you like yours?

I really dig it -- it is a bit heavy but I think thats just because i'm so used to my BMC carbon bike. I'm going to be doing a 1x6 conversion on it and build some new wheels for it -- then it'll be perfecto for the mean SF streets!

How much is the one locally selling for?

$200 with 105 components. I'm not sure what I should offer the guy. It's been listed for awhile now.

The bike looks fairly clean in photos, but I also see a little rust in spots. It'll be interesting to see what it looks like in person.

Yea thats not a bad price at all. I paid close to $400 for mine but it came with a ridiculous amount of extras so it was a good deal. If anything, they just look cool

This was taken on my first century ride. The red Marinoni is mine and the Cherubim is my amigos "mid-life crisis bike", even though he's only 36.

Just sold this to my boss, so today is my last day owning it.


I just bought this, maybe some familiar with C&V could tell me a bit more about it.

RIP wallet. No ragrets.

(Note: Still working on that saddle angle. I just got that one, so I'm trying to find something comfortable.)

You be slipping off that saddle. The Romin is weird and squiggly so it may be easier to place a level on it when you adjust.

I'll try that. Where does the level go? The length of the entire saddle?
