Dobry den, sohi (have to show off the czech skills whenever possible )! Anywho, the name's Nick, entering my fourth year at the University of Texas in Austin, studying English and History. I work as a computer tech on campus, and on the weekends I pedicab downtown (pretty awesome job).

Finished my first fixie about a month ago, a 59cm 46x16(or 18) old trek frame. Lovin' it. I decided to build one after I saw two guys on campus one day nonchalantly doing backwards 360s and no-handed track stands for minutes at a time. I went up and talked to them for a while, and they introduced me to the fixed gear, let me ride one of theirs around for a little while, basically supernice guys. There's not too many fixed riders in Austin, maybe because of the hills, so the only place I hear any flak about 'posengers' and whatnot is on these boards. Seems silly to me: fixed riding should be an excuse for camaraderie, not elitism.
