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)

You can determine carbon quality by eye?

Build/ overall quality.

You should calm down, it was just casual bike chat in the garage of a friend on a friday. No laboratory equipment involved.

I was just giving my opinion which you can either take or not considering I'm not forcing it upon anybody.

This thread has been cleaned up and unlocked.

Let's get back to business without the bantering nor discussion of said bantering.

Everyone please remember the forum guidelines and have respect for each other.

Thank you.

Sometimes I really understand / it's painfully clear what drove the creation of Tarck (not that I know anything about this latest incident).

chula vista circuit race cat3: sat up over the final roller, coasted in near the back of the pack.

I came, I raced, I didn't get dropped! Now it's time to get back in the game and be a little more aggressive. I always regret sitting up during the finale, even when my goal (like today) was just to race and not necessarily go for the win. I could have - considering it was not a challenging race.

We would hammer pretty hard for 30-60s at each of the two turnarounds, and then most laps were a tea-party in between. Still, glad that I raced.

Rode some dirt today on a power line service road.



And then I saw The Lone Wolf hanging out at the bottom of the canyon, chillin.
He now rides a fat bike instead of the famous rinestone coated Lotus TT bike.


Pretty cool meeting him, I have seen him cruising around since I was a little kid.

I called my dad to see if he still had a bunch of old Dia Compe/Weinmann/Schwinn 610's in his pile o'parts. He does. I am super-stoked to start gathering parts/tires to make my Steamroller more gravel/cross capable.

And here I thought he was just an Archetype in Bike Snob's book! Had no idea he was an actual dude!
