I do not understand. SS allows you to bomb steep hills, bunny hop without warning, take tight corners at high speeds, and avoid slapping pedals on curbs. FG gives you really sexy bike asthetics.

I have three bikes (1 geared, 2 ss) and just added number four to the stable. I LOVE LOVE super hard sprints on the drops which means racing on a velodrome has always appealed to me. If I make bike number four a fixed gear I will be able to join my friends on their monthly trip to the velodrome but if I did that why would I choose to ride my FG over my SS outside of the track?

I guess I am just looking for opinions.
