I'm sure the intelligent amongst you shall disagree, but the LEAST EMPHASIS in our forum's name, is on the word LONDON.
The raison d'etre of our creation was for the other part of our name FIXED GEAR and SINGLE-SPEED. This is why I joined.
I have no interest in multi-geared bikes, though they are clearly superior in so many disciplines. But those disciplines are amply discussed in every other cycling forum that I care never to think about.
One gear. Fixed or freewheeling. Or stick a good old Sturmey-Archer 3spd fixed on there, like on the Pearson 150 Special Edition, and I, and I'm sure some others, would approve.
For multitudinous gearing, other forums await with anxious anticipation. This forum does put up with it, albeit with gritted teeth. That's not to say that I hold the same all-inclusive sentiment.
If this goes on, there will be more and more riders that feel this is just another bike forum. It's not. It's the best, and the idea is FGSS.
