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)

Oh wow. I didn't see them at first. I don't think it adds much utility for the price paid in aesthetics.

I agree. This is intentionally taking advantage of someone who is new to sizing.

Those are actually guards to keep little feet and hands out of the spokes.

I just sold one of those three seater strollers, in worse condition, last week for $200 (bought it at a garage sale for $20). The buyers drove almost 200 miles to pick it up too. Amazing.

Berg runabout. Guess they're kind of a big deal.
