Pretty much same for me.
Continental GP4000 700x25 on both
Velocity A23 rims on both, although Dura Ace high flange hubs on the fixed
A white Fizik Antares saddle on the fixed vs a black Fizik Antares saddle on the road bike
Tan Bontrager cork/gel vs black
Waterford steel frame vs Gunnar steel frame cribbed from the same blueprint
172.5 cranks with SPD-SL pedals on both
The only weird thing is if I ride the fixed gear several rides in a row, then switch to the road bike, it feels like glue in the BB the first few times I coast.
