Very nice RedCar, love the hydraulics Yes, being from Austin and riding the Wednesday night West side rides back in Lances 7-11 days (no I did not have a direct acquaintance with him as I was just a mediocre rider at best) I finally decided I did not have what it took to be a serious competitor. Not to mention funding I turned to my cruiser community and that is when biking really became fun for me, my idea of great rides were get up late (these may have been some of my slacker years:rolleyes: ) ride across Austin 15-20 miles, eat, drink and socialize with like minded riders and then make the trip back all on our single speeds. This is how my entire family rides today, we take off and do a 10-15 into town and eat, drink and site see then make the return trip. For me this is priceless:wink_face:

I could see myself someday getting a straight fork single speed clunker with a kick brake. I bet I could get a TI one that would be light. That way no complications. If you ride a lot and don't do your own work it can be a little time involved.
Maybe the smartest just get new bikes every two seasons.
My main bike had some brake adjustment issues today. I got a better work out as it was keeping my rear rim from free-wheeling.
When I think back about the road bikes I used they were not even close to the maintenance done today with front and rear shocks, seat shocks. I would buy new rims every couple years, get the bottom bracket rebuilt every year or two and that was it. New tires when needed but that was it.
Now we need our own pit crew!
Maybe I will get a real one someday. This is just a starter and I would not ever want it to be my only bike. Good ones can end up getting as light as a normal mountain bike, this one is a tank!
As I'm sure you know, less weight is more $$, quickly.
If I could afford it, I'd grab one if those Salsa Bucksaws in an instant.
Redcarmoose, how does the FAT tires roll, feel versus a more standard tire?
