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)

Check out my street bike

OK, so this isn't my bike. But according to Nagasawa-san at Kalavinka, it is a customers bike intended to be ridden on the street. Pretty nice commuter.

Check it:

The frame looked like it was never built up before. Full campy group


Campy NJS headset




Nice lacing


Campy NJS pedals


Campy NJS cranks, and beautiful rims



And I got my picture with the man himself. It's nice having Kalavinka as your LBS.

Finnish net shop horscategorie.com has that frame for sale, 1295 euros. Well, probably not in stock. But available. Altough they don´t have a shopfront as such, their business is located just a few hundred meters from my house

You bought it on eBay all by yourself! Well done.

OK, I think I found someone in Tokyo who was quicker on the draw with a Cinelli with Shamals:


Well, one Shamal anyway (but a Campagnolo seat - nice touch)
