Speaking of fixed-gear bikes, one of the most fun (and expensive) parts of riding one is customization. That can be as simple as keeping your alleycat road-race spoke-cards in the wheels, or as expensive as buying imported vintage Japanese frames.
Now your customization can go to the absurd lengths of chainring engraving. Session Sprockets will sell you an aluminum chainring engraved with the message or artwork of your choice. The site even has an easy-to-use Flash-based tool to help you design it. Here’s my awesome effort. I decided to use the supplied high-quality clip-art to represent a giant chick attacking a car:
Session Sprockets was founded by MIT mechanical engineering student, and the chainrings are milled and engraved in-house. You can choose from two sized rings, standard (130 mm BCD, 48 tooth) or track (144 mm BCD, 49 tooth) for $100 and $110 respectively.
