2004 1FG here
My new ss xc bike finally ridable (with some parts off my dh rig: seat, post and rear brake). Took it out yesterday for a little road ride, lots of fun and pedals much better than the cannondale gemini I've been using for commuting.

Here's my do it all bike. Finally all built up. I'm still considering cutting the handlebars down though. 
I'm running 36-16 with dual 24's and thinking about switching to a 17 to make climbing easier.

heh thats quite the spare part for that bikeDiRt DeViL said:
Single speeds are worthless they are for people that arent good enought to be competative in racing with gears so they switch to single speeds, ohh and fixed how much more worthless can it get, its the biggest fad ever every day i see emo kid wearing tight pants riding fixed gears. They can hardley ride a bike, although watching them crash is quite fun. Ohhh and why is everyone with singlespeeds always so pissed off? maybe its because their bikes only have one gear.
No one's asking you to like them, but I'm telling you now not to come in here just to flame them.Bearmntpicnic said:
Jeje, it's a well used and abused cog; I'm using Endless on mine and it was laying on my parts bin asking for more punishment.jvnixon said:heh thats quite the spare part for that bike
