All you prissy folks would crap your pants if you say my fixie. A Huffy with one piece cranks.
+1, my fixie is a murray with 1 piece cranks that I picked up at the pawn shop for 20 bucks, total investment 60 bucks. I love it, great intro into riding fixed. I say go for it, have fun, and forget all the naysayers. You can always put everything on a better frame if this one gets trashed, that's what I plan on doing if mine starts falling apart. I got a lot of compliments on my conversion right here on BF and it's nothing special, but at least it got me riding.
