roachboy - You can convert mountain bikes into fixies!?!?!  I thought most mountain bikes had vertical dropouts...?
Tirian - that looks hot, but the first thing I thought was OUCH. My ass is so bruised just looking at that flat wooden surface and thinking about all my weight sitting back on it. Hope you get the upgrade soon! |
Supple--I got some gloves from Specialized last year for less than $40 from my local bike shop that rock my socks. They're highly water resistant, wind resistant, and keep my fingers toasty warm. I too get super-cold hands in winter, so it helps a lot. I love them so much I wear them sometimes when I'm not biking.
