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)

Wait so if I steal an old road bike and throw a flying squirl at it I get a Nagasawa?

Get some weinmenn DP18 and your fine. Good enough and not a ton of $$
