It's got some double straps and some chopped risers bars and looks rather "fixie-ish" if you will. Anyway, I cut through a local strip mall on the way back to my house and as I passed by the Target, some dude coming out was like "whoa look at that fixie". As soon as I heard that I stopped pedaling and began to coast. No sooner do I start coasting and the dude then goes "aawww no it's not" and you could totally hear the disappointment in his voice. I let out a laugh and continued on my way. Some people are to funny. Sweet fixie, bro. lol
I rode on a group bike ride (with an almost entirely female bike club which was sweet), and they all assumed I was riding fixed gear on my 2x9 until we finished the ride. lol
They were all on their commuter bikes, so half were road bikes with fenders and racks, the other mountain bikes with slick tires and mustache bars and stuff.
