I think the problem you're finding is that by the time you ask:

What color is fastest, and what flavor of the week bike, yadda yadda yadda...see where this is going?


It's not a matter of being a dick, but after seeing (let alone responding) to the same questions, post after post, year after year after year...................................................well, the people with the information get tired of repeating it.

So when someone says something curt like "Use Search Function" they're really just trying to say:

Kind new rider to the wonderful world of two wheels without gears [or potentially a freewheel hub]; the selection you've asked for - the [x] is [x]. I've also had the opportunity to ride every single bike in your selection and think that [based off real world information I have about you including height: [x], weight [x], sexual preference and political orientation - you should purchase [based off my expert knowledge in the field of all things fixed wheel/SS] a [x].

But they figure the answer is buried, somewhere.

<---Personally, I've been around for a long time, but have ridden exactly ONE SS bike and ONE fixed-gear bicycle. Would I recommend it, of course I would. Would it be the best option for you. How the heck would I know?!?!?!?!

So maybe I am a dick. /shrug
