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)

interesting, idk if i like it... it seems pretty interesting, maybe i would be a little more awesome if the price tag wasn't that high
i had posted this when i saw it too, although i do like it. Talked to a guy that went to his school and built up a frame. Seems like fun to have one-on-one supervision and build it yourself. Although perhaps the extra $ is worth the master doing the work.

My school actually built a bike like that called the "Carbon Cadillac" The riders sat back to back and had a carbon fiber streamliner body. Pretty cool actually. I'd take some pics of it but I was talking to some of the students and professors and it's disappeared out of the engineering hall...

Not to mention you can't pull a tire out diagonally when they are tucked in that tight to the seat tube...

i would have to agree. while a silver wheelset may have been a better choice, the important thing is that it appears to be ridden. that is much better than wasting away. (which many vintage bikes are doing)

Stop apologizing. I've been away for a while, so I was just reading through the thread before I was gonna post it myself. I love my jackass bike.

It had just rained, so I was able to push the stand into the ground for a proper "wheels down" shot. Usually it sits with one wheel in the air. I like to park it next to the motorcycles downtown and stand next to it with the front wheel spinning.

LMAO

Pride is a sin, so I'll claim "happy jackass."

Spinning. . . by MyCuteLife, on Flickr

This will be all built up soon too:

Titanium Track Frame (60cm) by MyCuteLife, on Flickr (read the full description, just mocked up, the seat sits way further back)

Just gotta thread the Ti Kestrel steer tube for the Ti Chris King grip nut. That bike's too big for me, but Zoe's got a 39" inseam. It'll be geared 42/15 on the inner ring, for proper chainline. I may cut the teeth off the outer gear so it's a fancy ROTOR logo'd pants-guard.

Love the Paramount!!!
Love the Ti action too. I'd probably just scooch the saddle back 1.5cm and get a 130 - 150mm stem if it was mine.

That was in the "other" thread.

Who knows about this? MASHxConcept? I'd tap that.
