Hah! Good observation.
Maybe you've heard the story of Grandma's pot roast recipe handed down a couple of generations? It involved spices, searing, oven temperature, potatoes, onions, carrots but the real secret was cutting off one end of the pot roast. Daughter and granddaughter followed that secret recipe carefully. Grandma came to dinner and conversation came to that recipe. Grandma said, "Oh, I cut the end off to get it to fit in the pan...."
My fixie has is easier cleaning, 35c tires, better work out and fixie riding heightens the feel of connection to the road and awareness of traction. My fixie has a steeper head tube and is quicker steering on snow narrowed streets and deep potholes.
The end of the pot roast is it has fenders; nice big fenders.
