Ok, so it's the wrong kind of bike, but I'm dusting off my 10 year old mountain bikes this season. Here's one, ready to ride after some new grips, pedals, shoes, a lubed and tightened chain, and new tubes.
It's a Bianchi D.I.S.S., a single speed. ![]() |

Ive heard Single Speeds are a little bit different to get used to...
What kind fo riding do you do with a signle speed?? It cant be crazy since you cant adjust your chain.

The bike is incredibly light as far as mountain bikes go, since there are a lot of parts that don't exist. It's also very quiet, there is no chain slap since there are no gears to change. It's fun, sort of a retro ride. You just get on and pedal. I'll finish up my other bike this week and put pictures up when it's ready! |

One of my friends in high school had one of those bitches that he could ride backwards.

Don't people use those more for on-road workouts, not singletrack? I used to ride a bike with no suspension on singletrack in Colorado, and it sucked bigtime over any kind of bump. Not to mention there were some climbs that even experienced riders on fully-geared bikes couldn't do, so there's no way a single-speed bike would do it either.
I could see using it on fire roads and jeep trails maybe......but not singletrack. Last edited by Homeslice; 04-15-2009 at 05:37 PM.. |
