Im building a fixie because its a bike Ive been wanting ever since I sold mine a long time ago, not because its the "in thing" I usually dont go for fads unless its something I truly like, like a fixed gear, and my bald head
but due to the info I recieved from a couple of guys here at the forum, Im not going to hack off the hanger
never know when I might decide to sell! sell! sell!
