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)

That's pretty damn good for how MUCH bike it is.

Fun factor totally overrules the weight. So much fun to ride just about anywhere other than the road. You feel like a kid wheeling that thing around and you look down and see a 5" tire just rolling it's hilarious.

I hear you. I know if I had an opportunity to ride one I'd just be looking for stuff to hit and bounce off of. Just to feel the bike suck it up and laugh it off.

When I look at those bikes I think...

Can't see your stem very well. Is it one of the ones where the brake cable passes thru the stem for Canti brakes?
