As the weather has cooled, more of my rides are on my ultra-cool Gary Fisher Ferrous steel-framed 29er that I run as a single-speed (Fisher designed it so that you can change it to run with traditional yuk-gears or as a sweet single-speed). Let's just say that it is by far the best riding hard-tailed bike I've ever owned - smooth is a good word for it. I just can not believe that more people around here are not riding this bike (there seems to be plenty at B&L Bicycles).
For me this bike is a keeper (a rare thing for those of you that really know me).
