  1. This is truly a revolutionary product. You can dynamically adjust your single speed ratio on the
    trail without tools. Actually, with care, you can change the ratio *while still riding the bike*!
    Many ratios are available, allowing you to fine tune your single speed's ratio to the current trail
    conditions.

    An old Bridgestone with fenders, rack, couplings... I'll bet you're using thumbshifters too. Sir,
    congratulations on having the most stylish bike I've seen today. I give it three of four handlebar
    moustaches (it lost one moustache for not having horizontal dropouts). Good show!

    I saw that coming a mile away with my eyes closed. But pray tell, that looked like a Bridgestone, eh
    what? Perfect candidate for a singlespeed conversion.

    That's not Harlow's bike, it belongs to Alex Wetmore (to be found on r.b.t). It's also a half-assed
    example. You want fine tuning of your single speed gear ratio, look here:

    With S&S couplings, do less.

    DANG! For a moment I thought that clip for the chainguard was some sort of tensioning gizmo for
    horizontal drops! /s
