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 commute looks like hell. I'm happy on my driving days that no matter how bad the traffic is, I'm not stuck in bumper to bumper non moving traffic.

Yeah, it is; that's from a 10 minute (2 mile) stretch towards the end where they're widening the road and building new overpasses. Unfortunately every day is a driving day since my comute is about 35 miles each way and I still don't have the stamina to do that distance.

“We do masks for every performer, or whatever else you need it for,” says Smirk. “We also do custom masks. You can use all our masks to ride your fixie if you like, although that was just an idea we had to give the people the chance to look as cool as their bikes.”

“Everyone who wants to hide himself. Everyone who needs to be another character. Everyone who wants to attract attention. Everyone who wants to be a hero. Everyone who wants to be a monster.”

lulzzzz

That reminds me of Jimmy Dillon running out of the locker room when we soaked his deodorant in turpentine.

The guy has one more notch to go on his adjustable stem.

Needs to stop being a lame and get more upright.

That's what i like about my XLarge Dean Colonal Titanium hardtail frame converted to a rigid fixie. The headtube is 6-3/4" long, and when i added in the 5mm rise Chris King baseplate (crown race) and headset cups, i'm able to get the bar up where i want it with just 2" of spacers.

The frame as a MTB would be too large for my 5'10" height, but as a road bike the standover is perfect and super comfy to ride.
