I had a fun ride this morning, rode with Leah to her first day of her new job! Then up Queen Anne, to the east viewpoint, then to the Highland drive viewpoint, then down to pike place for a croissont and some coffee :)
Finally! A photo that catches the pearlescent awesomeness of my Japanese Steel!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot! The hub is 75% / 100% / 133%, and the teeth are 45:18, so that's 50 / 68 / 90!!!!

I'd still look at you the same, but I'd make disparaging remarks about you.

Denny, I have a project for you: Will you make me a rear hub which is a freewheel single speed, but when actuated by a brake cable engages a clutch to become fixed?

what use are you picturing? sounds like a hand actuated coaster brake basically only your knees bear the burden rather than an internal brake mechanism in the rear hub.
