Oil is good for a short period, then it's not so good. Oil does two things that make it not appropriate for wheel bearings, it tends to run right out after being applied, and it attracts dirt. Dirt causes wear.

For wheels, waterproof grease would be the product of choice. Personally, I find Phil Wood grease to be the best.

Depends on what you want from it. Single speed bikes are as a rule very robust, and the drivetrain components tends to last a long time. They also tend to be fairly clean-looking, with a minimum of parts cluttering up the frame.

With that said, the fact that the pedals on a fixie always keep turning does require some skill to deal with. Getting the bike going can be a bit awkward and if you lean in a turn the pedals can strike the ground and cause you to crash.

My choice would be the single gear AKA single-speed. Maybe not quite as much a character, but more user friendly.

Around 30 years ago.

Mountain biking originated in California in the late 1960's to early 1970's. Gary Fisher introduced the first official mountain bike in 1979. The first mountain bikes were produced with 18 speeds and rim brakes. Newer bikes typically have between 24-27 gears and disc brakes, which offer greater stopping power and require less maintenance than rim brakes.

The nitrous piston is a lighter bike, so yes you should get it, although if you could find the blank media cheaper I'd get that one.

The bike that Jodie rides in the movie Baby Boy, is a 90's GT Dyno Roadster. The welded tank, graphics and twisted chrome are all add ons to this bike.

An integrated headset (not to be confused with an internal headset, see below) is one in which the top and bottom cartridge bearings are pressed directly into the head tube of the frame. Integrated headsets have the advantage of a lower stack height, since the bearings are contained inside the frame, as opposed to a standard headset, which has cups pressed into the frame, with the bearings resting in those cups, above and below the head tube. A significant disadvantage of the integrated design lies in the damage that can occur to the frame if the headset adjustment becomes loose; the fork and bearings clunking back and forth can quickly destroy the frame. An improperly adjusted standard design headset will destroy the cups first, a much cheaper replacement. An internal headset is a hyrid of the two designs (just to confuse things, internal headsets are also called 'semi-integrated'). Cups are pressed into an oversized head tube, and the bearings rest in those cups. The bearings are not visible, the low stack height is maintained, and your margin of safety is maintained. We have been selling Giants with these headsets for several years without incident. These days integrated headsets are found mostly on high-end road bikes and mountain bikes from small boutique builders like Ibis.

Sure, but if it has tri/TT bars you probably will have to pull them off to be allowed into an organized event. Expect to be losing some due to the fairly extreme riding position an all out TT bike will put you in. For ordinary road(group) racing most riders prefers a bike that's a bit more flexible in terms of use.

As long as there has been bikes, some people have been riding them off road. Mountainbiking started developing in the 1980s. Another off-road discipline, cyclocross, was established in the early 1900.

I have an old Starlet hanging up in the basement of the house I'm renting. From what I've learned so far, the Starlets date back to 1952, at least. They were equipped with 2-tone finish in Cloud white with rose trim, or powder blue trim, a chrome "luggage rack", a button-activated horn in the "tank", and a "powerful headlight". I'm hoping to gain possession of the old bike for a restoration project!

Fixie bike are bikes (usually road bike frames) that have a fixed rear sprocket which allows you to pedal forward like normal, but does not allow you to just coast . If you pedal backwards it goes backwards if you pedal slow it will remain slow. The whole point of a fixie is to eliminate brakes shifters to simplify a road bike.
