Thankyou! That one isn't fixed, it's single speed freewheel. My fixes are below - an EG Bates track bike (lots of fun, but a rattly ride, and the track fork doesn't like the front brake much. Soon to be used just for track), and a Nigel Dean conversion. This bike is ridiculous. I built it to look cool and it does, but more than about 6-7 miles and it's really getting uncomfortable. The fact is, I put a lot more miles on the SS bike than on either fix, which makes me think I ought to build another fixed gear, but on an appropriately sized road frame (the Nigel is too small, really), with a sensible, normal stem!
