Now that's funny. And appropriate.

Test-ride your undies? Before or after you ride? This could be a sick fetish starting!

Sorry for the top-post. Stinking touch-pad is a pain in the ass.

You know you can make a lot of money selling those things after you ride on eBay.

Just how retro does a bike need to be to be "real"?

Should it be cast iron? Fixed gear? Drum brakes? No brakes? Just curious where the cutoff is, since
this seems to be a matter of degree rather than principle.

I wouldn't want to actually depend on it though - I can't imagine that the disc wouldn't start
bending in the "skinny little bits" between the letters. Eeeek.

But like most bike stuff, fashion trumps function... ;-)

Ah, Matt. If you have been told that single speeding is "retro" you have been lied to.
Nothing about it has to do with any sense of nostalgia. At all. Well, there is one aspect of
nostalgia, and that is that it's a lot like when you first started riding a bike- very
little to distract you from actually mastering the art of it.

As far as single speeding being somehow more "pure", well, that's horseshit too. It isn't,
except that there is a lot less to help the rider compensate for inabilities, like low
gears, or heaps of suspension travel. It is a more raw experience- you can do it, or you
can't. End of discussion. If that's somehow more pure, I can't see it.

I don't own a multispeed mountain bike. I just can't seem to enjoy riding them as much as I
love my single speed. I have gone through a lot of multis, too: Yeti ARC, Ibis Ripley,
Voodoo D-Jab, Sycip Unleaded. Nice bikes, every one. Dream bikes, really. Still, the bike I
wind up spending my time on is my single speed. I finally just admitted defeat and sold my
last multi.

I've been SSing for a few years now. I enjoy getting other riders into the SS fold, but I
don't particularly evangelize, and I think the "Your Bike Sucks" attitude so prevalent in
SSers to be sophomoric. I do have

Should perhaps have said that it wasn't mine...

Hmmmm..... it "looked" familiar. Wasn't our own Shaun-boy talking about such a beast a while back
(like this time lasy year-ish?)

Have you not seen a photo of my Hope Mini rotor? Big writing all the way round, just like that -
stops me brilliantly, and does not bend even when rocks bounce off it (so far).
