So I've been riding a fixed gear for about a year now (seriously, that is, like training and pushing myself faster and faster). On my training and commuting rides i usually come across road bikers fully clad in spandex cycling outfit, looking really sharp and professional. It's really amazing some of the bikes I see, from Carbon Cervelos to Cannondales. Meanwhile I'm on my simple fixed-gear because I'm a poor college student who can't afford anything else!

Anyway, most of these dudes I run into on my rides are very fast, but I'm usually faster, especially on flats and gentle climbs where I push a good sized gear at higher rpms. When I pass them, they usually end up charging up behind me, trying to pass. I end up looking quizzically at them, apply some power and leave them in the dust.

So, what I'm thinking is, should I save up and purchase a decent road bike and try competing professionally since I seem to be so much faster than these other bikers who seem to be pros?
