there is a travesty...
in the single speed world. a travesty that i have a hard time accepting. now, i love single speeds. i love looking at them. at pictures of them. fixed or not. there is just something about them that i find so aesthetically pleasing. riding them.
i am able to accept all kinds of beautiful single speed rides. old. new. beat up. slick as alligator snot, or not. whatever. what people do to them. how they build them up.
but this is a travesty. this should not be. i accept the rig before i'll take that other thing, because gary gets it. he lives it. he rode in the sswc. travis is in the loop. not gt. i cannot and will accept this. it is blasphemy against the single speed community. a wound that is deep.

A true SS should be homegrown out of the love for simple riding, not the corporate bottom line.
