simplicity.....oneness with the trail.........ZEN never knew you had Japanese blood in you. Banzai! I HAVE NOTICED TOO THAT IT TAKES ME SHORTER TIME TO CLEAN my SS than the geared one.

and you dont really care much about whats the 2008 or so version or model of that bike, because just like my jeans it never really goes out of style.
in the just concluded ToF, i saw loads of SS bicycles out there, all were lovely.
i guess it is fast gaining popularity here in the Philippines as fast as when it became in other countries. maybe because there are loads of brands nowadays out there, such as tensioners and converters raTHER THAN BEFORE everything i used on my SS was built on scraps. well i guess this is only applicable to me. as see, the way SS's a are being built here are going high end already (lots and loads of blinggy hardwares)
well i think this is Pilipino bicycle culture.

so whenever gearys ask why I am very slow, I can reply "I am riding SS..." which I think a valid reason to ride slow, hehehe...

so I could get several other SS bikes from the money I saved not upgrading/buying a geared drivetrain

So I can still use my discarded parts of my other bike instead of selling it at a very low price. ;D

just started SS riding. It was initially meant to be a commuter bike for health, safety and practical reasons. I opted for SS for its cheap build, simple riding and strength training.
Come to think of it. It has more valid reasons to build it than my other full suspension bike. ;D ;D ;D

It'll change your life . Commuter bike ok, not your mtb ;D.
