I initially said nothing about how your advice should be taken with taken with a grain of salt, based on your lack of knowledge about wheel size.
I directed my comment to the OP, and in a joking manner. Did you watch the video? Why are you SO serious about how FG is only for poseurs? Take a chill pill, guy.
Noob or very young you are. 27" is accepted layman for 700cc, which could possibly mean little to a guy who last rode regularly when he was 8, probably on 20" wheels, back when all the adult bikes in NA rolled 27".
And yes, still being produced and sold.
I'm not serious about it, it's 99% factual, most of you are fadsters, no reason to be serious about it.
What I'm doing is giving the OP an opportunity to hear an opinion on his original inclination, as usual it was being drowned out by the teeny-bopper fixed gear losers not giving SS it's space on the forum.
Like it or not SS is way more useful for entry or re-entry level cyclists, and way less likely to turn them off of cycling with a bad experience (jumping on and riding as though it were a regular bicycle ending badly), ridiculous experience (meeting fixed gear persons in person) or painful experience (getting immediately back into cycling on a stiff, twitchy bike that has your head at teh same level as your ass in order to be cool)
This guy has the right idea for himself right out of the gate and almost none of you could respect that enough to actually anser his question. Way to push bicycling!
