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)

Why would they give you two plugs, two hood patches, and two finishing strips, but only one roll of bar tape?

'Sup guise.


Thrown in a CL deal with the rest of the 600 group (FD/RD, seatpost, DT shifters, dual-pivot brakes) that i needed for the baby mover.
Chorus front hub and 105 headset are so far the only non-600 parts on here, and that's totally fine with me.

Just needs wheels, tires, cog, lockring, and a chain until my 722 is rideable.

I just bought another bottle cage for the fixed-gear so I won't have to do anymore swapping for long rides. Yay.

Hi everyone...I'm new here. I figured if anyone cared about what I just bought for my single speed though, it would be you guys.

Anyways...I just bought a set of red deep v's with silver hubs and spokes. They were finished and shipped today so I should have them soon. I am so freaking excited.

Next on the list is new handlebars, but I'm having trouble deciding between bullhorns and drops.

Just got these for my Trek 520:



They are obviously used, except for the new Sugino chainrings, but it makes for a nice upgrade from the beat-to-hell Tiagra parts.

I plan to.... nice thing about the bike that it is separable and packable and folds into smaller parking spaces if need be.



Still have to add fenders (bridges are tapped for these), build a front low rider rack, and a front light bar.

I am going on a little tour in a week that should take me 400 miles out and back and am looking forward to that.
