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)

So the jackass part is that there isn't another dog to feed rounds into that gun, right? Clearly this guy hasn't spent much time out in the ****.

Points off for no Schwinn headbadge and Smoke clone sidehack tire.

I also prefer blackout lamps that are top half blacked out also, but that's really nitpicking.

This isn't as much jackass as it is genuinely confusing. Apparently the cassette is 9-18 and the chainring is 60t. I'm not sure there would ever be a time that you would need to ride 60:9. Also them bars are silly looking.

I like the red bar plugs against the white bar tape. They give the impression of bloodied nubs where the bars were brutally cut off. (also, a low gearing of ~87GI ? I hope he lives somewhere reeeally flat)

Training bikes often end up with lots of crazy set ups.

At 175GI what, exactly, is this person training for? Knee replacement surgery?

(okay, so it has a "low" gear of a "mere" 87GI)

that said, I'd be impressed if the owner could crank that thing at any respectable speed.

I'm pretty sure the bars and saddle are angle correctly. If you look close, you can see that the bike is actually angled the way it's hanging.
