I had a deep and thoughtful conversation with Sky Yeager this past weekend. I have sworn secrecy so
I cannot make the public the details of the conversation, but a lot had to do with the direction of
the industry and the ss world. I had been having trouble finding a suitably sized frame for me in
order to build up a ss. An agreement was made. They will be building me a custom ss.
Let the torture begin...
- CA-G How do I get myself into these things...

SS riders are amazing...
My 5-foot-1, 96 lbs of solid muscle, 39-yr-old sister Sherry is an ass-kicking team racer for
Soulcraft in Petaluma. She's also a hardcore SS freak. Matt and Sean at Soulcraft built her a
totally sweet custom-fitted Plowboy single speed hardtail that she races (and wins) on all kinds of
courses, including cyclocross. She's trying to build an all-female team to do a 24-hour race on SS
bikes. If you want to contact her, let me know.
I've only ridden with Sherry a couple of times in recent years (sadly); but watching her haul ass up
steep climbs on an SS rig is awe-inspiring. From what I've seen, SS *definitely* improves a rider's
skills. As for knee destruction, well - I dunno. It's all about technique, that's for sure.

You're legs *will* be ripped after riding SS for a while. You have my respect.

Torture, Stockholm Sydrome...Like any good bout of stomach flu, the experience is yours to make what
you will of it!
I keep a singlespeed loaner around and whenever I find a victim...errrmmm lendee...the first comment
out of their mouths is "That's not as bad as I thought!" Followed by, "It was dern fun, in fact.",
and then the usual chaser, "And riding fully rigid ain't too bad either."
I hope and pray that you will be F.U.S.S.Y. compliant....

Yes, but I fear that my back will be busted up before it even gets to that point :-(

It wouldn't happen to be a Krate-copy with a massively long fork with a giant glop weld right in the
middle, would it? Or have hinges where the top and down tube meet the seat tube? ?s

How about "I Will Be Assimilated"? You may not enjoy it, though I doubt that. You're not quite
the "let's buy a bike to be stylish" type. You actually ride what you buy. Hell, you may even
dump off some of the less desirable bikes in your fleet if you really get hooked, especially on a
custom ride.

You are correct. When I get a bike, I ride it. It has nothing to do with styles or fads. If I don't
like it, its removed from the fleet. I don't think I'll be having a problem with this new one...
