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)

Yeah, they offer custom colors at the factory, right?

So while you can't polish a turd, you can apparently paint one.

yea I know and the funny thing is they don't even recommending you get it painted since it won't last that well

No matter how you paint 'em, they still look the good ol' crap they always have been. I am totally torn that a few guys I really like around here, are so fond of their Aerospoke wheels. So torn...

The real drama here is that the pink one right behind the celeste one up front is a new Arrospok prototype where they're using 10 spokes instead of 5 for added stiffness and weight

unless it's just the picture, that's wayyy too pastel to match any version of celeste i've ever seen, and that's coming from someone with what i'd call three marginally different shades of celeste on his bike.
