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.

Don't think I won't try to take you up on that some day. Have you got a
seatpost long enough to suit a 6' out-of-condition geezer? ;-)

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
horse**** 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
a Spot Brand t-shirt that says one****ingspeed, though...

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).
