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)

Another gem I found on Pedalroom. I feel really bad for this bike. What is it with Kestrel bikes that make people want to **** them up?

https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/kestr...bon-areo-46814


I doubt that those cheap plastic pedals are Dura Ace and that those Oval branded aluminum wheels are carbon Zipp disks. This has to be a troll post. If it isn't, I am seriously concerned for this person's well being.

I think it is a troll post. Kestrel's lost their appeal I think once they became generic ASI/Fuji bikes. Old school stuff was innovative then it just became Oval/Fuji crap to keep the brand alive because people would buy a Kestrel, because of that history.

I wish I did keep this bike. I might just have to replicate this beautiful specimen in the future.

The tecnology is cool but the amount commanded to try to jump through uci hoops to ride in a more aero position while trying to compete to go fast is..... Super

I didn't buy it though when it was up for sale on EBay.

theres still time.
maybe I can still regress.

Cute - but birds can be clumsy on their feet from time to time so I'm going to make a ruling. Jack...
