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)

I guess I have the right to post here now... I just converted my 09 Fuji Crosstown 4.0 to SS. Here is the result!

^ I just got the bike (used) and made some mods to it (including the crank). Haven't had a chance to dial in the position so that's why the fork is uncut.

I personally like leaving steer tubes long just so it leaves room for other handlebar setups

Here is my Huffy Aerowind that I just bought. Its from the early 80's but I haven't checked what year exactly. The guy I bought it from already converted it a singlespeed but I have more plans for this. I'll post more pics when I finish it

I really like the matte black with the head badge. I also like the Cranks. Good loot!

I saw an Exige and a Supra TT racing on this country road in Texas yesterday. They blew by me going probablly 120mph. It was ****ing sweet. Good to see those cars actually get driven sometimes...
