I don't know but do what you want with your own bike. I am an old school guy and grew up in the 70's/80's. My idea of a perfect bike is something from that time frame. So I am totally a C&V kinda guy. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen something on CL and said oooh I want that. Then read it is now a fixie.... As fast as I got that gonna get a new (old) bike rush, it leaves me and I just continue to look at the ads that don't have altered bikes. The fixies sell so somebody knows what the market wants.
