Im interested in fixed gear but haven't bought one yet. Wonder what they are like to ride, I figure there is a reason 18speed are more popular but I dont usually do what is 'in' anyhow. Comared to a standard 18 speed road bike with equal riders which is faster in a city race through trafic for instance. Didnt know what difference there was in a fixed gear compaired to picking an equal ratio on my 18 speed and just not shifting. The frame geometry I have seen looks like it would be a fast handeling bike.
