The idea is becoming more and more attractive. I'll have to check out some shops and see if they have any bikes around to try.
When it comes to getting a single or fixed gear bike, given the simplicity of their design, it must be very simple to build one, right? Or is one (economically) better of buying one?
It's cheaper to buy one than put one together from parts.
I'm also a fan of the narrower wheelbase and twitchier handling on most manufacturer "fixed gears" that make a nice balance between the handling of a true track bike and the comfort of a road bike. Something like a JAMIS sputnick or I personally have the MASI speciale fixed are the bikes I was looking at although there are alot of others in that category (either the Surly Steamroller or KONA Paddywagon or maybe it's both of them, and the bikesdirect "Windsor the Hour" are similar).
