You can't run a fixie with a tensioner. When you try to resist the pedals to stop, you will snap the tensioner right off.

I happen to own a singlespeed road bike, and love it, but I am getting quite fed up of this mindles fixie craze, with every hipster riding his generic fixie (with the cards in the spokes, of course, because we know they actually ride in messenger races), and when they recommend them to people just because thats the cool thing to do. Ever thought that maybe he doesn't want a fixie, and isn't a trend whore?

If you dont even know anything about road bikes Nepali, why are you commenting?

I don't mean any offense or any thing, just blowing off steam.

I like it! The sutra is a really nice riding bike! We have that same frame for sale in the shop I work in and I can't stop wanting it.

The Sutra is very nice. I was wondering though, why the toptube slants down? I'm used to something more like this.(Thats my bike by the way!) 3134540

Super Record 11 is where its at, get that, and you'll have the slickest ride out there next to Boonen.

I've always ridden mountain but need a speedier whip for rides with my newly acquired roadie buddies. I'm going with a straight bar set up to start. Prob throw some bar ends on also. I ended up with an Masi Cafe Racer Doppio . Should be here in a couple weeks. Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://masibikes.com/gallery/albums/album-23/lg/08F_CAFFE_DOPPO_ROAST.jpg
