well, then, forget what I wrote and buy the fashion bike that will make you new friends.
You're right, I won't ride if the weather is bad, and I won't beat the crap out of the bike either. But I'm not buying a fixed gear because I want to look cool or impress people. I just want a good quality bike that doesn't cost a fortune, and i just happened to want a fixed gear.
