It certainly planted the seed. Then I read Sheldon's "Fixed Gear For The Road" and "Fixed Gear On The Cheap" and I became convinced. I built up two crappy bikes last year, neither really worked well, but well enough to hook me. The bike I have now is just about perfect and I've put nearly 1000 miles on it since November, most of that just riding to and from the office. It's fast, comfortable, and silent.
