some people do enjoy a bit smaller of a frame for a fixed gear. you aren't going to be able to change gears when the ***** gets hairy, so being able to muscle your frame around is kind of a nice feature. ultimately i think that's more a matter of personal preference rather than a hard and fast rule, if that's of any help. and ultimately, regardless of the size of your frame, when the ***** gets hairy, you're going to need to rely on your leg muscles.
