When I lived in Boston I used to live being able to get all around the city and to work and grocery shopping and what have you on my bike. I fell for the (at the time at least) fixie trand (dun care, love them still) and I had an IRO Mark V with deep V wheels and a Sugino 75 crankset, Phil Wood cog and bottom bracket, and front brke and loved that bike (tht all told at te end of everything ran me like $1400). I look around now (and also am iving down in Florida which surprisingly has a lot of bike lanes and I see a lot of people biking though it's nowhere near as "bike friendly" in the sense of being able to actually get places conveniently on a bike) than Boston but anyways. I'll attach a picture of the old whip. but wondering if anyone can point my in the direction of anything in the neighborhood of that type of bike (I'd like a fixie, I'm 6'4" and last July had my left leg amputated but just got a crazy prosthetic today so it looks like biking may still actually be in the cards for my life wdown the road (no pun intended) once I get proficient with the prosthetic, another reason why i'd also still like to stick with the fixie route. But yea I'd love another nice crankset and nice parts and such on a fixed gear bike for a clydesdale who's 6'4" and was like 200lbs before they cut my leg off, no idea what am with the new prosthetic on. but yea a "cool" (not gonna lie) bile frame big enough for a tal dude that doesn't scream "steal me". Thanks!

The old whip

if i ever get rid of my SteamRoller, I might replace it with a Cinelli w/ canti-posts and track ends: https://usa.cinelli-milano.com/collections/tutto-plus
- lots of dirt roads near me, so this makes sense for me. And it'd be different enough from my RoadUno.
- and if you think you might want to buy a 58 ish cm Surly, lots of pics here: https://www.bikeforums.net/g/album/29822892 (...i've not thought about selling this year until just now... but, maybe! -- i do have a race at the end of April, so - dunno....)

Seems like folks point to Wabi a lot: https://wabicycles.com/collections/ssfixed
- looks like all they do is SS. So perhaps they know what they are doing.

The Tutto is nice I have the old Mash Work frame on which it is based and it is an awesome bike. Wabi is probably closest to the online bikes like the IRO but also still with some quality.

I know it involves acquiring a frameset and then spec'ing parts, but have you seen the Brother Cycles Allday? The price for the frameset is about $530 or so right now - but it may be less, because the VAT may not apply to U.S. buyers. If I wasn't already up to my ears in vintage conversions, and a custom Mercian, I'd be looking long and hard at one ...
