I ride fixed offroad several times a week and have become a total convert

(or is that "pervert"?) . My friends have stopped talking to me and my LBS has barred me but I don't care, it just feels soooo good
Seriously, I had an ally 26" wheel frame with no brake bosses and horizontal dropouts so I built it as a fixed out of curiosity (original Carrera subway 8). With an "Exotic" carbon rigid fork up the front with an avid juicy 5 brake and a Goldtec hub in the rear it's not pretty but it's a lovely ride. Am running a 32/15 on it which equates to about a 55" gear.
