So I did some more test riding today and more or less decided on the bianchi volpe (Winston Salem is just so damn hilly and I want to be prepared for all grades NYC has to offer). I couldn't help but feel though that the guys at the bike shop (though perfectly nice and well informed) were staunchly against fixies and SS to the extent that they were seriously steering me away from them. I mean they were laying it on thick. They didn't seem like the type to do this, but has anyone at the feeling that you were being hard sold had a bike shop? Even a classy one? I just got a weird vibe- like they all just wanted me to drop the $900.
