My opinion here, but a fixed needs to be an honest to god track bike, or an older frame with some sort of heritage, and that includes a grocery getter from the 1970's, a Keirin racer, anything but a "Fixie" bike where the manufacturer had it built for pennies by slave labor specifically to roll some kid.
I just don't get the cool vibes from a Kona or a new Motobecane or any of these bikes. No class.
No flame on the Post, just needed a stepping stone to rant!
I like my classless, common '88 Trek 400 that I converted with a bunch of spare parts I had laying around my garage. I don't ride my bikes because they give off "cool vibes". I ride them because they get me from point A to point B and they're more fun than my car.
