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)

The silhouette of the saddle on the Cinelli reminds me of a mid-60's Ford GT40; hence my approval.

About the only thing to push it completely off the edge would be to re-lace those rims to Phil hubs for no reason other than to blow another $400 and unify BB and headset.

The crank is the one blemish, IMO. Replace with Campy or DA for 10/10.

The more I look at it the more I hate the stem too. Get that piece of crap out of here.

When you say "not rounded" which part are you talking about?

The length of the arm. Modern DA/Campy cranks have that smoothly rounded crown, and 75s have that nice angled bevel, but then the PW cranks slope and round and flow in a way that I find really unappealing. I think the shininess exacerbates the effect.

You are correct.

I think that's why I like it. More utilitarian look. Price and LOGO are lame though, agree.
