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'm still kind of freaked out by how ubiquitous bittorrent has become.

more seeders couldn't hurt. if you have the file already, download the torrent again and tell it to save it as the file you've got. it will check it, and then seed it. i'm maxed out right now. i'll put up the YSI once it finishes.

once you guys have it, keep bittorrent open so you seed. that way people will be able to get it much quicker.

yeah it was nothing special. I liked the soundtrack to it though. maybe we should burn the songs to CD and sell them as well?



there's the picture I'll use on eBay

I saw this at the Bic. Film Festival last year. The audience ended up throwing beer cans and chanting "kill yourself" at the guy.

I thought it was a good video. The camera work is well done and the topic is straight-forward. There are a few exciting urban-riding moments and Bobe Jr is a sympathetic subject. It's clear that the director wanted to capture a very specific messenger image- young, hip, dangerous, elite- and did a good job.

I'm with Ira, it's pretty decent. Not something I'd watch more than once, but decent.

People seem to get all ass-hurt when things get "commercial".

Yeah, not bad at all. I dug the camera work.

Man, his bike is way too small for him.

For street riding, it's the perfect size. I'm trying to figure out if I afford to get a tiny bike. It's like a really fast BMX bike.

I'm just sayin' what happened... I didn't think it was all too bad either. It could have done without the guy's monologues about himself, but it was worth watching!

Man, it's going to be like 11pm before I can watch this. I'll be seeding until then, but my computer sucks so much that I can't run my bittorent client and watch movies at the same time...

Stupid computer. Stupid work.

a bit off-topic, but has the bike that puma selected as the winner of their fixed gear 101 thing been discussed? that thing is ugly as ****, and with the saddle from spongywonder.com? and the tons of typos in the description?? it's a "bianci" frame with "netto" track bars, and no "breaks". not to be a hater, like the bikes owner discourages one from being, but thats some bull****

change clients, try: https://www.utorrent.com/ for windows or get ctorrent from sourceforge for linux, both are lightweight and work well
