I now have a "fixie" in my lineup as last fall. An old Triumph. Love it
thus far and can't wait to try it over some of the hills around here in
WI. I my thinking about possible building a "freewheler" for the wife
this spring as well.

My plan for this season if after the winter indoor training is over,
spend about 6 weeks on the fixie at start of cycling season before
switching to one of my normal seasonal roadies.

By the way - Mark thanks for help on this fixie project. Your tools and
that SA sprocket helped. I amy be searching for another sprocket soon.
