Pignon fixe !
Della Santa Corsa Speciale set up as fixed gear with Sheldon Brown built wheelset. Riding this thing has been a real treat. A friend has generously loaned it to me for my first first experience on fixed gear. (Thanks, Ron! Let me know when you want to go for a ride.)
This is a post ride photo from a few weeks ago; not a great shot, but I wanted to get a quick photo. Other than a few laps around the block, it was my first fixed gear ride. I did about 35 miles and 1500 ft of climbing, including some pretty steep stuff. The downhill was wild. Legs spinning like crazy, bouncing up and down on the saddle. I was so sore after that ride. I want one!
