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)

Thanks!

I taped up a new tubular to the rear, swapped out the front wheel for one with a brake surface, and gave the clamp-on brake a spin. Been a couple years since I've ridden a bike with one speed...but it's lovely.

Ah! From the side it looks like a ribbon or something.

I love this bike. My next ride is gonna be a SS gravel bike of some form... maybe even a SS MTB. That is one sharp ride!

I have this idea in the back of my head of a Niner Air RDO single speed with rigid fork.

Don't know why I keep thinking about it but I do.
