Yeah it looks like the two big ones I missed were the KHS and the Soma Rush... oh well.
The responses this thread is generating are great. I sort of had an ulterior motive for posting it - I'm looking for my first fixie (aww, how cute) and I figured a poll might be the easiest way to get some opinions. If theft wasn't an issue, I probably would already be riding a 2004 Pista. Unfortunately it is. And although an old beater would be a good start, and almost theft proof, its not gonna be easy for me to whip one up. I'm just getting back into cycling and I don't extra parts laying around to build up a fixie, so I'm mostly looking at new bikes.
I guess I could start scavenging, but it would probably be a few months before I got the whole thing together, and i wanna ride now damnit!
