Saw this on a fixed gear blog:

"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 derailleur? We are getting soft... As for me, give me a fixed gear!" --Henri Desgrange, 1902

This is Fucking Great.
Nice find !Nhattattack!.

Any black stems?

Fuck me look at that cunt of a wheel!

i remember those from the 80s. They were the coolest thing going for a while, mine eventually decayed and started to leave little black bits on my hands but before that they were cool.
still, you shouldn't be getting numb hands so something isn't right with your position. Cyclefit's expensive personally I've always had luck with the mechanic's at the lbs. Failing that there's bound to be something online about position that could help :)

Thanks man. The problem has almost gone. These 'afro' grips have worked a treat and i've switched back to risers. Was getting kind of worried for a minute. I have noticed my left hand is still considerably weaker than it once was.

I'm sure Juliet will be stoked she's made the thread.

Black!

Did i see this at Tricks the other night? If you end up splitting dibs on the seat post and stem. Ta

Pulled up next to a girl on what may or may not have been a De-decaled white CREATE at the lights at St Martins church at about 10am.

Me : Black AENDE Grey Rapha BFF hat.

Would have said "do a skid" buy considering we were both stationary and looking at eachothers bike seemed a dumb idea.

Cheers. I'd like to think i'll get round to it at some point. I still like my Afro Grips.

I am sure most porpoise would be pretty happy with it.

Dude i've moved everything around i possibly can. I already feel like i got my seat stupidly low to take some of the weight off. It's better with these grips but i might try them on my risers.

Praise be for rolled-up Dickies.

One day i shall modify a pair with a padded gusset and live in them.

Praise be for rolled-up Dickies.

Is it me or am I noticing lack of faces?

My face was on here once and i was rightly or wrongly ridiculed for the dumb pose i was pulling. I can't go through that again.

Dude they feel like microphone padding and it's sweeet. I can feel the ends of my fingers again so erm....suck my balls. :)

Changes to my AENDE including cheeky mud guard. DRY arse. I win!

I'd love to hear your reasons behind both these statements.
"Might as well get a motorbike"...what, because a carbon bike with tri-bars, a GPS, lights, and internal routing is the same as owning a motorbike yeah?
Back up your statements with some knowledge, i'd love to hear it.

Actually i should have quoted this. Jesus Christ!

I'm still waiting for someone to explain which parts are a lot of faff? It has brake cables, gear cables, tri bars, gps, and lights...pretty standard for a distance TT bike...so which bit is so much faff that the next step is a motorbike? anyone?

Chill the fuck out Dude.
Fleeting comment. I call every fucking bike that has more than one brake a fucking Transformer bike. Don't mean i actually think it's a Transformer. I'm sure most on here enjoy the simplicity of a stripped bike and a spot of banter.

Split? Ill take those wheel.

Hey any chance i could get a pic of any black stems available. Maybe it;s just ITM. Thanks.

Oh god.

I kinda like this. If i had 100 bucks i'd buy it and bastardize it into a big dumb cruiser.

I'll have your fridge please.
