Well, I think you've got me convinced. The Moto, or atleast something, is getting a fixed-gear. You are a strange bunch of people though...

I still don't think I have the slightest clue... |

Fixed gear bikes go a lot faster than the average bike, its fun to catch up to cars and go faster.

These guys convinced me when I was as hesitant as you are. Converting to fixed was the best cycling decision I've ever made, and riding to work (15 miles each way with challanging hills) is the happiest part of my day. Go for it all the way financialy and emotionaly. Riding fixed is far beyond what anybody can tell you, its so good you really can't find any words to explain it. I pledge to buy your fixie from you incase you're not happy with it(provided its the right size). My geared Peugeot is collecting dust now even though I used to like it more than the Raleigh. |

I'm 6'1 so 60cm sounds lovely. We can start negotiating now before you get too dependant on your daily fix.

I'd have to agree with the fun part! I rode around in the my underwear today in the pouring rain, just because I felt like it. I never really thought to do something like that until I had a fixie, and then I just wanted to ride around on it no matter what.
So much fun! peace, sam |

LOL if an outsider heard u say this they'd probably think you lost ur mind, only a fixie owner knows how sane you are. |
We need not to convince you. You need to convince yourself you are worthy to ride such a animal.
S/F< CEYA! This is my bike, there are many like it but this one is mine. |
