Look, it's a mini me!
Pity he can't drink beer anymore (gluten intolerant), coz with his tatts and shaved head he makes a great poster boy for the fixed movement. I'll drink your share, mini me.

Mike gets fixed up
He got the bug on his old beast, then got the go-ahead from his financial advisor, and now lil Mike has a shiny, tiny Langster to play with. In admirable fashion, he eschewed the freewheel and went straight to fixed, getting on the steep learning curve down the hills of Miramar. 
Look, it's a mini me!

Yeah, it's not taking too long to get my head around the fixie. It's a nice ride too...
As for the beer, Karen tracked down some gluten free beer so will give that a taste tonight. Have my doubts about it though, the guy who sold it to her said it tastes like crap. At $5.50 a bottle (w/sale) I hope it's not "too" crappy.
gluten intolerant.
Me to.
Here's some info for what ale's ya. (sorry, had to do it)

it's pretty much the stouts and the dark beers that taste the best, the rest is very average.
I'm a steady red wine drinker now.
Cheers for that. It was an O'Briens Lager I had last night and I won't be going back to it. Well, apart from the other bottle in the fridge. I'll see what else I can source locally.
there is this other one as well, but it isn't much better.

Good to see another Langster rider out there. I still have not rode fixie yet. New Jersey is not the place for it. Plus I hate taking the back wheel off. It is such a pain to get it back on and the chain set right.
What size frame? I am riding a 52.
Mike's is a 52 also. You should just bite the bullet and fix it up! If those crazy messengers can ride in NYC fixed, you will be sweet.
Yeah... do it. NJ can't be any more unsuitable for fixies than the hills, streets and howling northerly winds of Wellington. If I can do it... etc etc
I think I am going to save my Fixie riding for the track. Every once in a while I meet up with another rider on the road. They get all impressed when they see I am riding a single gear. They are less impressed when I tell them that I am riding on the Free side. I do not coast that much but when I do it is because some car has cut me off.
It must be fun riding with another Single Gear rider. I have been trying to get one of my friends to get a Langster but so far no go. The folks with the full road bikes do not really like riding with me. Especially if I drop them.
Nothing more fun than dropping roadies!
