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 was thinking of making a haiku commenting on how the rims in that pic get progressively deeper, but now I've decided I simply want a wheel with a ridiculously deep profile, so deep in fact, that the spokes are only about 2 inches long. In other words, a disc wheel with a small hole in it for the hub and spokes.
