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)

Leader Love!

I've been admiring the 722-TS for a while and pulled the trigger yesterday.
Can't wait to get it built up!

I think we'll see several black friday 722ts builds in the upcoming weeks.

Aesthetically, it's a subjective thing. I don't think the slope is very excessive on these bikes--not like the Affinity Lo Pro. However, I feel like it's only natural they've ended up in this direction. The Cdale track was the holy grail of track bikes on the street for a few years (and perhaps still for some people), and this sort of just mimics it. Also, it makes more sense to have this style for a street bike, since you don't ride 50+ miles on the street nonstop and it's nice to have that kind of handling through traffic (and for fun).

I've also heard it's "faux pursuit," and it actually has pretty relaxed geometry for what it is.

Considering my Kagero is a 55cm and has a 59cm seat tube (to accommodate the sloping tt), it would pretty much be just like any other frame if it had a 55cm seat tube and a level top tube. Same with the MASH.

Your 55cm has a 59cm seat tube? Interesting.

I came in here thinking you posted progress pictures of your Kagero. I was disappointed.
