First-of-month updates for December 1, 2008 I put together Andrew's interesting street fixie - very cool, especially with the Surly Fixxer-ed Spinergy wheels I converted back in August. Another wheel - a Hope Pro2 front re-built into a new DT Swiss XR 4.20 after Shane had anThe Loners, Lost...

Well it's Thanksgiving here in the States, the day in which Americans gather around a roasted bird and pretend to forget that in exchange for the generous hospitality the indigenous peoples occupying this great land offered, white settlers gave them...
