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)

Yes the original stuff is the best but two-tone isn't that bad. I have heard some pretty bad third wave stuff.

I saw this beast on Craig's list and had to share. It is a single speed. So many things wrong...

^ friend of mine has a Catrike low slung like that on slicks, and let me tell you what, that thing hauls. He let me take it out for a spin, and it just accelerates so quickly and handles like it is on rails. I was very very shocked at how comfortable and fast it was.
