All 3 on my sigline. And whatever I add to that this year. I do all my own wrenching and tuning so really, if anything is unreliable, it's me. And I dont see that happening.
(Hmmmm, how about a C-dale or Bianchi this season??)

Me too, but I found Single Speed to be great and extremely reliable. Mine gets the most rides in any month because it just is always ready to go. Once in a while I lube and tighten the chain! Some fixie people will say that I'm missing a lot, but the constantly good chain-line is bonus enough for me.
Never had a fixie - or even ridden one, the idea frightens me.
