why?
fixed gear/ss eliminates any advantage in gears, weight, components and more that rules competitive races.
it is the true test of cycling skill and ability. if you cant hang with me on my fixed gear in 65 GI it is plainly seen that you are a weak rider. what sad is most of these people around here are just that. talent before $$ son..
You riding with some fatty on a 5K geared bike is an awful crappy performance indicator. You can race SS/FG cyclocross, or even track if you fancy yourself fast. I assure you it takes more than $$$, and knowledge of rules to do well in racing.
Give it a try. Nothing brings people crashing back to reality like reality.
