i laughed that one for quite a while!! now i know why subaru is so popular in rallies!!

i lived in whistler BC and used to mountain bike everyday all summer long! you'd love it out there, mountains just like in Switzerland (45minutes rides down) and a crazy bike park! maybe i can find some pictures

i used to ride a single speed hardtail and follow big guys with expensive double suspension bikes. i guess its like driving an M42 when everyone wants the S52

do you ride downhill as well?

i agree, single speed is just pure fun, it feels like you give direct power to the wheel. no mess and easy to tune.

i used to run it downhill as well.. pretty rough on the body



i was just asking myself when would someone join the ultimate procrastination thread, since we had more than 900 views! help us keep it alive!

Dude, your bikes are waaaaaaay to clean! i have a Vassago SS, full rigid that I race. Also an steel deluxe IF, SS full rigid, and an OD-1 full rigid SS, that I designed and had built for our shop. It was my first frame design, worked out well.

I co -own a bike shop, http://www.addictivecycles.com ,It's small, we do mostly repairs, and wheel builds, and custom frame builds....

Cheers and beers
