Same here. Not to mention I've really enjoyed building my bikes from scratch. I first did an old conversion into a fixed gear. Then I found a good deal on a steamroller frame and built a bad ass mofo just migrating my parts over. Now I've tweaked the old one again with a racing freewheel for $h!ts and giggles. Gears and derailers and all those cables just make the bike look nasty in my opinion. A streamlined bike rocks! I live in S. Fla so I have no need for all of that. It's pretty much flat down here so it's just "go time" all the time. I've never had so much fun on my bikes and I'm really enjoying blowing my traffic on my comutes in the a'noon. Life is good. long live fixed!
