Fixed Gear Gallery "Symposium"


Dennis at fixedgeargallery.com had his
second annual Fixed Gear Symposium
.

I caught bits and pieces of the first one in 2005, which was...nice. It was a little like a small town messenger alley cat event, only without the ego and attitude...which is to say it was nothing like a messenger event. They had a group ride and everyone was too tired to do the alley cats, and it was like a cross between Woodstock and a Church retreat. This year it seemed bigger, but it was held from thursday-saturday, making it difficult to catch without burning valuable vacation time.

Once upon a time, he planned on having the 2007 event at the refurbished Vigorelli track outside of Milan. That would be worth catching.
