is it the same idea on the fixies?
I wish I had a photo of Justin's top tube. he has a frame pad now, but before he did he wore off the paint on both sides of the top tube in front of the seat from skidding. Your knees grab your top tube most times. They are also nice to sit on. They are also good for locking your bike up and saving the paint. oh, and carrying your bike up stairs on your shoulder. what am I forgetting? ramblinwork.com thefreewheel.com reloadbags.com roach pad too.
