I wasn't at the CM but I was out there on 23s, kinda nutty but I took it slow. I have been riding my Bianchi fixed conversion and it isn't too bad, more spongey but nice for the winter. Just one close call with a big white van and I was pleasantly surprised at how good the commute home in the dark was tonight.
The IRO buy-in sounds pretty sweet but with the currency conversion and the shipping, I think it will get close to 300$CDN, not bad for a decent frame that would be fun to build up but I am not going for it as I have too many bikes as it is. If something comes up in the future for hubs or something fixed-gear related, that would be cool.
