Didya miss me? I haven't posted around here in ages, and it's been almost a year since my last fixie ride. I have a 2009 Schwinn Cutter made with wonderful Hi-Ten tubing. It was originally a single speed, but on my first foray into wheelbuilding a built a fixed gear wheel for it and rode it until I wore it out. A while ago a friend was retiring to a beach house and sold off a bunch of his stuff and I bought a track wheelset from him with Dura Ace hubs, Sun Rims, etc.

Pretty good deal. The only problem is I use my front brake and the radial lacing on the front started to loosen up due to the braking torque. So I got new spokes and relaced it in a 3-cross pattern. I just took it out for a shakedown ride and it was fine over 12 miles. Feels good to ride fixie again.
