I just sold my mid 70's Mercier fixed conversion, I plan on converting a Dawes Galaxy I have for winter commuting. I had the Mercier for 3 years or so, great for the occasional ride, very smooth and quiet. I wasn't planning on selling it, but I have too many bikes, was selling a Steve Bauer road bike that the purchaser wanted to convert to fixed, sold the Mercier instead.
I have a single speed mountain bike too, it's great to ride now and then for a change. Simplicity has its benefits!!
