[arf! arf! I smell a cyclist!]

I agree!  I've been driving one-speeds for years - currently it's a
Union Safari that I hauled over from Amsterdam in '80.  It's not much
on hills, but Buffalo doesn't have any hills.  And it wears like iron.
A campus policeman nearly lost his temper trying to engrave my SSN thru
the enamel!  Besides, the fully enclosed chain laughs at Buffalo's famous
awful weather.

One year I finished tenth* in the local Penn Masters with it too.
Not bad for a heavyweight!
