I should add that when jyl tried my bike, it was also dark out, and it think one of the blocks he took was cobblestone. How he got the fixie bug from that, I can't explain. Maybe he just loves New York.

The CR18 rim is heavy. I know sixty fiver will disagree, but a very light fixie is a lot nicer than a heavy one.
