Yup. My favorite bike - what the pros might have raced 30 years ago had gears and freewheels never been invented - a custom ti road fix gear. Sewups and my form of 43 years ago and it would be good to go. Now I do change gears, but the old way. Stop and use a wrench. Coasting? 17,000 miles and that bike hasn't coasted a foot. (I keep thinking that I should pull my feet out of the toeclips and coast down a hill into camp to finish the week of Cycle Oregon just to say :yes I did coast: but I keep forgetting.)
