A pic of my fixie, made from a "fuji touring series III" bike. The pic is from the start of a long ride/mini tour, this summer, from boston, ma to provincetown, ma. Around 150 miles over 3 days.

Fella by the name of Kent Peterson completed the Great Divide Race this last summer with his fixed gear rig. He was the first. He did come in dead last, but what verve.
My hat is off to you, as well.
