Um actually I have been racing road bikes for about two years. I am building a fixed gear because I like the way they look and I want to have a beater bike. The fixed look is that minimalist, stripped down look that fixed gear bikes have. You must be quite thick if you don't understand that. In my normal road bike I'm all about function over looks, but on a fixed gear bike I will commute with, I want it to look good. Is there a problem with that?
