SRAM Torpedo Hub on Display

The SRAM Torpedo is a hub that switches from single speed to fixed gear mode with just seven turns of a screw. Pretty sweet!
It's featured on Swobo's Crosby, an aluminum frame, carbon fork, cyclocross tired rig. It has a flat top tube and the cables on top so you can shoulder it through the mud or on your way up to your apartment. Excellent choice for an all-around bike.
Riding singlespeed and/or fixed is an awesome workout. It forces you to become one with the bike and also can make a two hour bike ride as effective as a three or four hour one. It's a great time-management tool. Their simplicity is also a big selling point.
