Letters Home In Emergency "The bike is amazing. I got some new pedals for it before I hit the road, and I haven't had this much fun on a bike since I got my first Huffy as a kid. Thank you so much! Jason" Le Tour III "Hey Eric, Just thought I'd give you a little update on the Le Tour III. I've been riding it tons. The gearing is just right. It's nice on the strand, but climbs BIG hills nicely when pumping. ... I threw on some color-coordinated old school Oury grips, some new rubber, and some BMX pedals. I've gotten a few streetside compliments. Thanks for pushing me towards riding fixed. I'm digging it. ... -Tom" photos included 87 Super Sport Neal in Florida writes. "the best fixed gear ever thanks a million trillion" Good use of brevity, thanks Neal.

1987 Schwinn Super Sport. This may be the nicest condition 20 year old bike I have ever seen. Tons of absolutely original components from the Shimano 600 line. This beauty is Colombus Tenax tubing and the lugs are gorgeous. The Italian influences don't stop there with Cinelli 64-40 bar and 120mm stem. French Rigida rims, SX100, in black heat treated that show almost no brake wear, I love Arizona bikes! This is my tendonitis special for the Jan Ullrich diesel types, geared with a 55X16 if you get these 170mm cranks up to 100 rpm you will be flying. Owner will get to select gearing, alternate chainring is 44T with choice of rear cogs (15,16 or 17). You can really enjoy muscle building workouts with this huge gear, just make sure you have some bags of peas ready in the freezer. The bike is a 58cm c-t of top tube with a 56cm top tube. Non-original components include Tioga brake lever covers, ProLite titanium railed saddle, and new S60-K kevlar tires 700x23. I have a complete Shimano 60
