Since you purport to "Like to Bike" per your BF-Persona do you "Like to Bike" fixed gear machines on the road?
If so, which one(s)?
How would you describe the differences in handling, ride on rough surfaces , climbing, descending and front brake operation between your most and least expensive FG machines?
Which do you use for FG commuting and how is it equipped for the burdens and bashing of the real world environment of lousy pavement in variable weather and with the inevitable loads carried by bike commuters ?
If you don't have the actual experience of riding FG on the road, Just Say So.
