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)

Biked around the perimeter of my school but had to stop because I could not take the blistering cold. I decided to stop at 7/11 for a snack and just head back to the dorm.

You don't live near prospect park do you? I've seen a mash set up extremely similar to your's around here a few times.

50 miles @ ~18mph avg. 60F in December for us is pretty unusual. We took advantage of it.

I love it. I, dare I say, like it more than my Cervelo, I think. The S2 is a better race rocket, but for everything else, the CAAD takes the cake. It could also be the superior drive train (Rival on S2, Force on CAAD10).

Come visit if you ever get the chance! The Bay Area (and California in general) has a MASSIVE bike scene/culture and some of the best cycling terrain in the world. We really are spoiled. You can find anything you want to ride, and plenty of people that want to ride it with you.

everytime i get interested in a geared bike, & i want a complete, my choice seems to come down to bikes with either 105 or force. have you by any chance ridden with 105 parts? i would like to learn how they stack-up against each other from someone who has experience on both.

anyway, here's a pic from earlier today...

105 works just fine. dont go any lower tho.

i prefer rival and (obv) force over 105, however.

Went out for a short early morning ride and some breakfast from a local dinner. A cool side note, I found out that early in the morning a approaching train can be heard from miles away.

The road next to the tracks where I heard the train. Gotta love that almost non-existing elevation gain.


Getting my FGFS on at the public skatepark, kinda fun to screw around there when all the kids aren't there.

Went for a two hour bike ride and got to watch the sun rise.

The fog was so dense at the traffic lights that I could only see a few feet in-front of me, so I rode on the trails instead.
