Vancouver is hilly?
unless you're talking about the North shore.
[edit]
I guess I should be helpful. I ride a 39x15. Before my month off I was considering upping that to 42x15. I chose this by repeadtedly riding up the hill on W4th from NW Marine and Blanca on my geared roadie and picking the gear I felt most comfortable mashing.
For fixed-related tech info and parts go see Dan at Mighty Riders on Main and Ontario. He's a surly bastard (pun intended), but he knows his sh*t. La Bicicletta and Campione sell high end track parts as well as some more affordable Miche bits. (FYI - DA cogs are only $25 at Campione). There's also always a few fixies hanging up in the Bike Kitchen at UBC.
Oh yeah, and there's a FG mailing list over at Yahoo groups. do a search for fixedvancouver.
and come check out the Burnaby velodrome this winter.
