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 like the ugly Nitto stem, it has kind of an industrial look. Can imagine it looking pretty cool on a raw steel frame.

As a heterosexual male, I would ride the sh*t out of that Aventon, and 0 f*cks would be given.

A. You can never go wrong with pink on a bike.
B. If you think pink somehow makes you less than a man, you were a pansy to begin with.

I don't think tt was commenting on the bike so much as the declaration of heterosexuality.

Pissing off roadies is so easy that it is hard to take much pride in it, yet, for some unknown reason, it is silly satisfying!!!

just one more of the mysteries of life!!!

Take another photo on the drive side and you are likely to get a lot more love. Also, use a light colored backdrop so the bike stands out more and get closer.

And while we're being critical, the dodging and burning could use some cleaning up.

Me too. Probably can't go that fancy, though. Likely Schwinn, Univega, or Lotus.

I'm a huge fan of the pink EAI/Toyo Godzilla. My wife wants to go on vacation though, so even that's not in my future...
