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)

Well, the RS-1 fork and hub are on the way. A friend who raced in the US and Europe said it is the best he has ever ridden. Plus, the shop got me a screaming deal. So, my SS should be rocking this in 2-3 weeks. Cannot wait!!!

Same thing here. It was odd to have two different packages but whatever the wheels with dem hubs are nice. Need to actually take time and photograph the bike.

My Catrike Road is a month new to me. Things I recently purchased........

Trunk bag
Rear frame bags
Seat side mount with cage and bag
SPD shoes/cleats
Front accessory mounts with mirrors
cheap cellphone holder (for now, I'm using my cellphone along with my JBL BT speaker for music and also using it for bike computer) I control the phone and BT speaker with my smartwatch so, I never need to mess with either and the phone calls go through the speaker for hands free operation again, answering the call with the smartwatch. It's not the perfect set up but, it works for now.

I'm a huge powder fan. All my bikes, blah blah blah.

I'd be interested in hearing the planned layout for the two-tone scheme.

If you have never seen this link, they do some insane work with powder. It's fun just to look at all the possibilities.

Good choice. Too bad 2 years is going to be a stretch for using lizardskins continuously.
The awesome rubber coating tends to break down and flake overtime unfortunately.

Have this exact tape on my mostly black Felt road bike. LOVE this tape. Leuky is right though, it does break down which sucks.
