At first I couldn't see why you'd want to have no brakes or gears but I loved my first bike - a Specialized Langster resprayed completely white, like an iPod bike.

Anyway, it really looks the part. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/wheel-life-a-guide-to-britains-new-bike-tribes-841244.html"><P> There's a massive fixed-gear social scene as well.
