Thanks for all the replys, you know, I have an old raleigh touring bike frame with horizontal drop outs...........

Seriously, I am not a troll, My Daughter started school At Depaul Univ. and everytime I go to Lincoln Park, I see lots of fixed/singles, and I am not a person that follows cycling trends, just an old dude that rides for fun and fitness in the far boonies of Chicago.

Anyway, thanks again for all the non cynical/smartass answers, I am starting to like the idea, but I think I'd keep the front brake.
