Get on your fixed gear bicycle and ride!

I still feel that varable 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, L'Équipe article of 1902

I should be working on any one of the 3 ten page papers I have due...





Well, I'm putting my time to good use.....I needed a break from school work so here are some pictures of the Monocog 29er, the pista, and the 'burned' special ed crossroads hybrid frame that I clear coated with a satin finish.....I kinda like how it turned out.

That burnt frame looks cool.

Where'd you get the Pista from?

I missed the race.

Rick and I went out to TR yesterday in the 90+ heat. It was brutal. Sorry I didn't call you. Next time for sure.

I'm thinking about a July 21st/22nd gravel grinder. Kind of close to Nine Mile, but we could make it work. Maybe a bike to TR, camp and then bike home. What do ya think?

It's funny you should bring up the weekend of the 21st/22nd...I was thinking the exact same thing! Anyone else in the area care to join?? think we can convince Rick to join us?

Brian, I bought the Pista and surly hubs from the 'new' Brian at the SBS.

Also, I plurged and picked up the PK-63 tool kit from Park, along with a truing stand and some addtional accoutrements....ok, back to school work...

I mentioned it to Rick and he said that he would be up for it. Who else?
