Dude, a fixie is easy, it's like finding a used steel bike stripping it down to its essense, and if anything springing for a rear wheel and a cog. Take a look at what the messengers are riding, they aren't spiffy Eurotrash Colognas, they are meat and potato USA steel with no name, cause they get beat up and run the risk of theft, accidents and weather. I've only seen one messenger on a Bianchi Pista, and I think that was his going home bike.
