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)

[MENTION=180928]Leukybear[/MENTION] [MENTION=410155]SCK[/MENTION] thanks for the info and kind words [MENTION=303015]Mumonkan[/MENTION] agreed that the pink frames look great, but i'm sorta set on painting my gunnar pink one of these days, don't need another pink bike keeping me from accomplishing that.

as far as forresters go, all i have to say is my gf bought a 2016 Forrester 2 months back and brought it home and I was so confused. I expected it to be one of the ones that [MENTION=418438]TimothyH[/MENTION] is lusting after but nope, he's looks like some rav4CRV baloney. while i don't like the looks the thing does drive and handle snow like a champ. once i'm inside of it i really like it.

The new forester is huge. They lost their station wagony way. First two gens were on the impreza platform.

I started the thread. See post 141 re head gasket.

Sorry to steal all the glory from your vig. I try not to look at Cinelli bikes much because every time I do I start thinking about getting one. Yours is no exception.

I'm looking at maybe a 2011 Forrester or CRV or something like that.

Sorry to have taken the thread off topic. As you were...

Current iteration. Got some gr10s and straps cause I can't wear cycling shoes all day at work. Also a new saddle bag that doesn't look like a purse or a sack of nuts.

Pray tell, what wheels are they exactly? They (and the whole bike for that matter) look great.

But you still gotta match the tyre logos up with the valve stem

Guess my GTB is now my track bike this season. Training wheels on currently, might post pics of it with race wheels later.

I washed it this morning so it's super shiny.

Assuming he didn't receive it that way, he'd had paid extra to get it with those graphics in the first place and then to remove them.

Had one as a rental car for about a month while the insurance company dicked around getting me a payment for my totaled Volvo.

Probably the most boring car I ever drove, the interior felt gigantic, disconnected and VERY cheap.

Well yeah, I'm not sure I'd buy a Parallax just to strip it. I think I've seen this one on PedalRoom before it was stripped down.

It's still the same frame. I think it looks great stripped & polished.

What does that sticker on the chain stay say? I can't quite make it out.

I think it says "Just say no to drugs" or "Love, its what makes a Subaru a Subaru" or something.

It says to "Go **** Yourself." (I'm sure the filtering on here will clean that one up).
