First fixed gear was about 10 years ago, a $300 BikesDirect Windsor Hour complete. Hadn't ridden bikes actively in a few years, and a bunch of my younger friends were on the first wave of the "fixie" thing, so I snagged one up for cheap, and was immediately in love. Within 6 months, I had stripped it down to bare frame, had it powdercoated pearl white with a carbon fork, and upgraded everything on it but the cranks, and it rode great. Had to sell it about a year later because I was upside-down broke, and I've always regretted it. Had more bikes between then and now, but nothing notable. Love my current bike, though!

You can see it in the link in my sig. I know Leaders aren't the popular choice 'round these parts, but I love them.
