My single speed is in the mail. Dunno when Ill get it. But I figure, why waste gas driving 3 miles to work everyday when I can just as easily ride a bike.

Its mostly downhill on the way there except for the flightline. And the uphill battle on the way home may be a good way to blow off some steam after a rough day at work.

I can't wait to race some f35s down the taxiway, or play chicken with a c17 Twisted Evil

Im still debating on taking rattlecans to it or not

LeJalapeno, what did u get

I got a gravity swift 2. Its aluminum crank, rims, and frame with a carbon fork. it's going to be perfect on base, but if I ever take it to the city it's gonna be a rough ride.

this is the bike i got

http://cgi.ebay.com/52cm-Track-Fixed-Gear-Red-Alloy-Road-Bike-Bicycle-NEW-/130554901447?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e65adb3c7

i repacked all the bearings
getting new pedals(and straps) and tires (after that ill switch the wheel from freewheel to fixed , but i wont ride fixed w/o straps)

replaced the seat immediately
put some rim liners in the wheels (they dont come with them)

maybe change the gearing up a little

but i like it

it was cheaper than anything i found on Cl and it looks pretty good

but in reality a 200 bike is a 200 bike

but i have to be ok with it being stolen downtown so im not buying anything more expensive

-=AlexXx=-, get one they have so many diff colors

This thing is super light. Its gotta be like 19lbs. I need to replace some of the sub par stuff and I think I can have a better bike. This is the only pivotal could manage before going into work. And yes I took that reflector off the back tire
