Also, I don't really care what you ride or why you ride or even if you ride at all or just do trackstands all day, but I'd like to think that the main reason to ride fixed is that you like pedaling fixed.
I like bikes with one speed, regardless of whether or not they are fixed.
As far as looks go, its not some image thing really, I just have OCD. Wires that don't run in straight lines or aren't flush against the frame bother me (there is actually an internal tubing for the rear brake, on my 98 Gt Strike). I could never use two different wheels, and my drivetrain has to be a "gruppo" (going IRO to start with, not sure it's a gruppo or not, being American).
Ok I'm done proving my worth to people I'll never meet. But if I DO meet you someday, beware...I have a knife!
