Kendo Silver Saddle - 50$ (Like a Concor)
"Saddle designed by Yuki Kusaka, owner of Kendo Cycles in Japan. Very similar to the old Concor with a big curve. Not much fore-aft adjustment so it has to be run fairly forward. Synthetic cover in shiny smooth silver. Cromo rails."

Best Fixed Gear Tires
Continental Touring Plus 28c
Conti Touring Plus - "Sticks and stones and other sharp, pointy objects won’t stop Continental’s Touring Plus tire. It's armed with Continental’s stalwart Security System, a tough sub-tread that prevents punctures. This layer is highly elastic, too, so that the ride remains light and lively. Plus, this tire sports Continental's Reflex sidewall striping for high visibility and safety."
.\\ These Touring Plus' make excellent rear wheel tires. They are durable and great for skidding. Also, for a 28c it feels really responsive. Not to mention reflective sidewall, and only 28$ bikesource.us (sub tread is orange)
Vittoria Randonneur 28c
"Vittoria Randonneur - This tire is suitable for city and light trail use, with puncture-resistant technology for long-wearing durability.

- A puncture-resistant tread is placed under the treads for maximum puncture resistance

Sturmey Archer 3 Speed Internal Fixed Gear Hub - S3X
"
S3X Fixed Gear 3 Speed
So I know there are many of you out there that are very interested in the little bit of info I recently got my paws on.The first batch of prototype Fixed Gear 3 speeds is finished. The new hub will be called the S3X. The hub will be made using a much stronger aluminum hubshell. Overall gear range will be 160%.
- 1st Gear -37.5%
- 2nd Gear - -25%
- 3rd Gear - Direct Drive
- Gear step gear 1 to gear 2: 20%
- Gear step gear two to gear 3: 33%
Shifters are still up in the air but we have had many requests for a bar end style shifter. Also we are still planning on the possibility of doing some anodized colors with laser etching instead of screen printed graphics. Please comment on what you would like to see in the way of shifters or color choices."
