Now don't get me wrong, I can see the attraction of riding a singlespeed bike (I'm making one as a little over winter project) but I was wondering if someone could explain to me any way in which a fixed gear is a better choice unless you want to do tricks on it.

As far as I can see the only differences are you can't go as fast downhill, it's harder to dismount whilst moving and you can't lean as much in the corners.

So basically what I'm saying is try and convince me to build a fixed gear instead of a singlespeed becase I'm really curious as to what peoples logic is.
