For me SS MTB is like a BMX for adults. It's nice not to be thinking about what gear to be in and just concentrate on the trail, the hill, or the beer at the end of the ride. If you ride in really muddy conditions your bike still works 4 miles into the race/ride.
For SS/fixed road riding it's all about simplicity, connection to the road, and less of a chance of theft (well not any more).
