I'm new to the fixed world. I've ridden road bikes for 10 years or so. I wanted to go simpler.

For me, I went with the langster '05 cause I have a short inseam (28 inches). So the pista was a slight larger frame size than I was comfortable with so my next stop was the langster. I liked it cause it was relatively inexpensive for a complete bike. I rode single speed for a week but got bored with it so I flipped it to a fixed with an 18t cog. It's nice. I've swapped out the pedals to mks', keep switching between bullhorns and drops, removed the rear brake, removed both brake levers and replaced the front brake lever with an old bmx lever I got for 5 bucks. I like it a lot and it's pretty simple.

Anyway, hope this helps and good luck on whatever fixed you get.
