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)

Nope. Cutting off those pieces won't magically convert it into a Lean, Mean, Track Machine; it will just be a mutilated road bike.

Do what I did on 2 different Somas, Put your favorite beer bottle cap on the lugs. I've gotten lots of compliments and personally, being half Irish, I'll honor a bottle of Guinness anyday
